Canada, U.K., Australia Rebuke Israel for Decision on Aid Workers' Deaths
The countries said the closure leaves families without answers and renewed calls for accountability after the strike killed seven aid workers.
- On August 19, 2026, the Israel Defense Forces announced it would not pursue criminal investigations into the April 2024 airstrike that killed seven World Central Kitchen aid workers, citing no "reasonable suspicion of criminal misconduct."
- The April 1, 2024, drone strike hit a World Central Kitchen convoy in Gaza, killing seven humanitarian staff including Canadian Jacob Flickinger. The military admitted "serious failures" but called the incident a "tragic mistake" involving misidentified targets.
- In a joint statement on Friday, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom condemned the decision as "shameful." The nations called the timing on World Humanitarian Day "particularly egregious," demanding justice for the victims.
- Poland and Australia summoned Israel's ambassadors on Thursday to express opposition. Foreign Minister Penny Wong of Australia said the decision was "especially insulting to Zomi's loved ones," falling short of expected accountability.
- World Central Kitchen rejected the findings as "inconsistent with the full truth," demanding an independent commission. With 186 humanitarian workers killed in 2025, the group argues the IDF cannot credibly investigate its own conduct.
