In brief
In March, Israeli forces struck a World Central Kitchen convoy, killing seven humanitarian workers, including three Brits, a Pole, an Australian and a Canadian‑American. The attack came after the IDF refused a criminal probe, prompting Britain, Canada and Australia to demand accountability. Israel’s ambassador said the strike was accidental, while the IDF said the convoy’s armed guard was misidentified. The incident has also sparked outrage over Israel’s settlement plans in the West Bank.
UK, Canada and Australia slam Israel over no probe into fatalities.
On 1 April, Israeli forces fired on a World Central Kitchen convoy, killing seven workers – three British, a Polish, an Australian, a dual‑Canadian‑American and other volunteers.
Israel's ambassador to Australia said there was no criminal intent, but the foreign ministries of the three countries insist the victims demand justice.
The IDF claims the convoy had an armed guard that was misidentified, yet the strike was "serious failure" and sparked further controversy about settlement building in the occupied West Bank.
In the meantime, Prime Minister Netanyahu remains silent on the protest, while international bodies call for an independent investigation.
