‘Shameful’: Canada, U.K., Australia Rebuke Israel for Decision on Aid Workers’ Deaths
Australia and Canada said the decision leaves no criminal accountability for the deaths of seven World Central Kitchen aid workers, including two of their citizens.
- Canada, Britain, and Australia condemned Israel on Friday for closing the investigation into the April 2024 strike that killed seven World Central Kitchen aid workers, calling the decision 'shameful.'
- The April 1, 2024, airstrike killed seven workers in Gaza, including Australian Zomi Frankcom and Canadian Jacob Flickinger; Israel's military concluded the strike was a 'tragic mistake' with no 'reasonable suspicion of criminal misconduct.'
- Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand of Canada and Foreign Minister Penny Wong of Australia decried the closure as 'unacceptable,' noting that announcing the decision on World Humanitarian Day was 'particularly egregious.'
- The World Central Kitchen demanded an independent commission, calling the decision 'inconsistent with the full truth and deeply offensive' and arguing the Israel Defense Forces cannot credibly investigate its own conduct.
- Australia summoned Israeli Ambassador Hillel Newman to Canberra on Thursday, while Israel maintains commanders mistakenly identified the convoy as carrying Hamas operatives, resulting in two officers being removed from their positions.
