Spanish PM says Israeli explanation of aid workers attack is ‘insufficient and unacceptable’

DOHA (Reuters) : Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said explanations provided by Israel about the killing of seven people working for the aid charity World Central Kitchen in a Gaza airstrike were insufficient and unacceptable, demanding further details.

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the incident “a tragic event in which our forces unintentionally harmed non-combatants,” adding that “this happens in war.”

“That is unacceptable and insufficient, and we are awaiting a much stronger and more detailed clarification, after which we’ll see what action to take,” Sanchez told a news briefing on Wednesday while visiting Qatar.

World Central Kitchen was founded by Spanish American chef Jose Andres.
