Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that the killing of seven foreign employees from the World Central Kitchen (WCK) in Gaza by Israeli forces "was a tragic incident."
"Unfortunately, yesterday there was a tragic incident in which our forces accidentally struck innocent people in the Gaza Strip," the prime minister said after he left the hospital where he underwent hernia surgery. "This happens in war, and we will investigate it to the end. We are in contact with the governments involved, and we will do everything to ensure that this does not happen again," he concluded.
Previously, the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Poland called for an immediate investigation into the incident.
