Canada has denounced Israel for terminating its investigation into the killing of seven World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza. Israeli strikes targeted the charity's convoy in April 2024, resulting in the deaths of Canadian citizen Jacob Flickinger and six others. Foreign Minister Anita Anand branded Israel's decision to end the probe as "unacceptable" and cited "serious failures" in the attack.
She affirmed Canada's expectation that international humanitarian law be respected and vowed to persist in seeking a comprehensive account of the incident and justice for the deceased workers and their families. The workers were transporting charity vehicles bearing their emblem, coordinated with the Israeli military. The Israeli Defense Forces' (IDF) decision not to pursue a criminal investigation into the killings of the seven World Central Kitchen humanitarian workers, including Flickinger, is deemed unacceptable by Anand, who highlights identified "serious failures" that prompted the closure of the case.
