Kirby Says the U.S. Is ‘Outraged’ After Deadly IDF Strike that Killed WCK Workers in Gaza

EXCERPT:

KIRBY: “Now, if I could just, as Karine noted, just turn briefly to events in the Middle East, we were outraged to learn of an IDF strike that killed a number of civilian humanitarian workers yesterday from the World Central Kitchen, which has been relentless and working to get food to those who are hungry in Gaza, and quite frankly, around the world. We send our deepest condolences to their families and loved ones. We’ve seen the comments from Prime Minister Netanyahu and from the Israeli Defense Forces about their commitment to conduct an investigation. As we understand it, a preliminary investigation has been completed today, and presented to the army chief of staff, and we’ll obviously look to see what they — what they discover in this preliminary one. But we expect the broader investigation to be conducted and to be done so in a swift and comprehensive manner. We hope that those findings will be made public and that there is appropriate accountability held.”
