Israel has closed its investigation into a 2024 airstrike that killed seven World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza, drawing sharp criticism from Western allies, Al Jazeera English reported. The United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada called the decision "shameful," opposing Israel's move to conclude the probe without pursuing additional accountability measures for those responsible.
The April 2024 strike struck a clearly marked humanitarian convoy operating in the territory. The three countries' coordinated rebuke signals broad diplomatic concern over how Israel conducted the investigation and the adequacy of its conclusions regarding the deaths of the relief organization's personnel.
