Poland 'very disappointed' after Israel drops probe into killing of Polish citizen

Poland said it expects explanations after Israel ended criminal proceedings over the 2024 strike that killed seven World Central Kitchen workers.

  • Poland's foreign ministry said it was "very disappointed" after Israel decided not to pursue criminal proceedings regarding the 2024 Gaza airstrike that killed Polish citizen Damian Sobol, a World Central Kitchen volunteer.
  • Damian Sobol, from Przemysl, was among seven people working for celebrity chef Jose Andres' World Central Kitchen killed in the April 2024 airstrike in central Gaza, which sparked international outcry.
  • The Polish Foreign Ministry summoned Israel's ambassador in Warsaw on Thursday, noting that the District Prosecutor's Office in Przemysl is conducting a parallel investigation into the tragedy.
  • Deputy Foreign Minister Ignacy Niemczycki told PR1 on Friday that "we consider this a surprising decision," emphasizing that "inappropriate use of force should have consequences."
  • Australia also summoned Israel's ambassador in Canberra on Thursday after an Australian citizen was killed in the same airstrike, amid a conflict where more than 73,000 Palestinians have been killed.
