“Outraged” Biden Denounces Israel For Not Protecting Aid Workers In Gaza After Members Of Chef José Andrés World Central Kitchen Killed By IDF Strike – Update


President Biden called Andrés personally to tell the celebrity chef he was "heartbroken" by the news that an IDF strike had killed the aid workers in Gaza.

“The president conveyed he is grieving with the entire World Central Kitchen family,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a media briefing today. “Despite coordinating movements with the IDF, the convoy was hit as it was leaving the Deir al-Balah warehouse, where the team had unloaded more than 100 tons of humanitarian food aid brought to Gaza on the maritime route.” Israel launched a military investigation into the strike and, according to local media, found that the army identified the cars carrying World Central Kitchen’s workers arriving at the warehouse in Deir al-Balah and also observed suspected militants nearby.
