The United States has received Israel's report on the deadly strike on a World Central Kitchen convoy in Gaza and is currently reviewing it very carefully, according to Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Blinken emphasized the importance of Israel taking full responsibility for the incident and commended the country for appearing to take steps to hold those responsible accountable.
Blinken stated that discussions will be held with Israeli officials and humanitarian organizations in the coming days to review the conclusions of the report. He stressed the significance of implementing measures to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
Earlier, Blinken called for an independent, thorough, and fully publicized investigation into the Israeli strike that resulted in the deaths of seven aid workers. He mentioned that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu assured President Joe Biden of further changes to procedures to ensure the protection of individuals providing assistance to those in need in Gaza.
The US will closely monitor the steps taken by Israel to enhance deconfliction and coordination to safeguard aid workers. Blinken highlighted the importance of better protecting those who are delivering crucial aid to the people of Gaza.
