LIVE: White House News Briefing as Israeli Airstrike on World Central Kitchen | U.S.-Israel | CNBC TV18
The Israeli airstrike that killed several World Central Kitchen aid workers last night imposed new strain today on the U.S.-Israel alliance, as condemnations poured in from around the world.
The State Department confirmed that one American was among the seven staffers killed, and Secretary of State ANTONY BLINKEN praised WCK’s critical work getting food to starving people in Gaza and other conflict zones around the world. “These people are heroes … they have to be protected,” he said. “We’ve spoken directly to the Israeli government about this particular incident. We’ve urged a swift, a thorough, an impartial investigation to understand exactly what happened.” Expect further comment from the Biden administration when JOHN KIRBY joins White House press secretary KARINE JEAN-PIERRE at this afternoon’s press briefing.
