“There’s accountability to be held right here,” the White Home official mentioned after Israel killed support employees.
Washington:
The White Home mentioned on Tuesday it was “outraged” by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza that killed seven individuals working for World Central Kitchen (WCK), and that President Joe Biden referred to as the charity support group’s founder to share his condolences.
“We have been outraged to study of an IDF strike that killed various civilian humanitarian employees yesterday from the World Central Kitchen,” White Home spokesperson John Kirby instructed reporters throughout a briefing in Washington.
Requested whether or not the U.S. would condemn the Israeli airstrike, Kirby mentioned of his use of the phrase “outraged”: “I believe you possibly can pretty characterize that as condemning the strike itself.”
Biden instructed WCK founder Jose Andres that he’ll clarify to Israel that support employees have to be protected, White Home spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre instructed the identical briefing.
The strike on the WCK convoy killed residents of Australia, Britain and Poland in addition to Palestinians and a twin citizen of the USA and Canada. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu mentioned earlier that the strike was tragic and unintended, and the Israeli navy pledged an impartial inquiry.
The Israelis have “already mentioned this was on them,” Kirby mentioned. “There’s accountability to be held right here.”
“There are problems with deconfliction that clearly have to be fleshed out and improved,” Kirby mentioned, including that Washington would proceed to verify Israel can defend itself.
