State Dept. Spox on the Killing of Seven WCK Aid Workers in Gaza: ‘It Doesn’t Really Matter How They Made the Mistake’

EXCERPT:

MILLER: "So, two things about that. So, number one, the chief of staff for the Israeli Defense Forces has come out and said it was a misidentification. So while they were — I took that to mean, while they were targeting those cars, they did not believe that it was World Central Kitchen that was operating those vehicles at the time. But that said, we need to wait and see the outcome of this investigation to know with any confidence what it was that happened, and we’re going to wait to do that. But the second thing is — the second point is, it doesn’t really matter how they made the mistake. At the end of the day, you have seven dead aid workers who are there trying to deliver humanitarian assistance. So whatever the reason was that led to this tragedy, whatever the mistake that happened inside the IDF, it's unacceptable and they need to do better and they need to put measures in place to ensure that it doesn’t happen again."
