Britain, Australia and Canada have condemned Israel's decision not to pursue criminal investigations into the April 2024 airstrike that killed seven humanitarian workers, including three from each country. The World Central Kitchen (WCK) convoy, delivering food to Gaza, was mistakenly targeted, prompting global outrage. The joint statement from the three nations emphasized the need for justice and accountability, highlighting that Gaza remains the deadliest place to deliver aid.
Australia expressed "outrage" over the decision, while Polish authorities called for Israeli cooperation in their investigation. The Israeli military claimed it mistook the WCK vehicles for armed Hamas operatives and that its commanders did not raise reasonable suspicion of criminal misconduct. However, the joint statement from Britain, Australia and Canada described the decision as "shameful," calling it "too little, and too late."
