The United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Poland have expressed disapproval of Israel's decision not to investigate the killing of humanitarian aid workers in Gaza in April 2024. James Henderson, James Kirby, and John Chapman were among the seven people killed when their World Central Kitchen convoy was hit by Israeli drones. Despite Israel initially labeling the incident as a mistake, the military later justified the strike, stating they had identified a gunman on a lorry.
However, the foreign ministries of the UK, Australia, and Canada deemed the decision "shameful." They emphasized that the victims and their families deserve justice and accountability, and they will continue seeking answers on their behalf. This stance comes amid ongoing concerns about the lack of accountability in Gaza, where 186 humanitarian workers were killed in 2025. Both Australia and Poland have summoned Israeli ambassadors following the announcement.
