Britain, Canada and Australia condemn Israel's WCK decision as 'shameful'

The United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia have condemned Israel's refusal to investigate an attack on a World Central Kitchen (WCK) convoy in Gaza. All three countries deemed Israel's decision shameful, particularly for carrying it out on World Humanitarian Day. Israel killed at least seven humanitarian workers in the 2024 attack, which occurred during Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza.

The three countries, in a statement on Friday, emphasized that the decision was both too little and too late, adding that victims and their families deserved justice and accountability. The UN reported in 2025 that Israeli attacks on Gaza accounted for more than half of all global humanitarian worker deaths, with 186 killed in the year. Israel has continued attacking Gaza despite a ceasefire brokered by the US in October 2025.
