Canada, the UK, and Australia condemned Israel's decision to close an investigation into the 2024 Gaza aid worker killings, calling it 'shameful' and demanding accountability. The seven World Central Kitchen employees-three Britons, a dual US-Canadian national, a Pole, an Australian, and a Palestinian-died in a drone strike on their vehicle convoy in April 2024. Israel's military described the incident as a 'tragic mistake,' but the IDF announced on August 19, 2026, it would not pursue criminal investigations, sparking global outrage. The three nations criticized the timing, noting the decision was announced on World Humanitarian Day, a day honoring aid workers. Israel's foreign ministry stated the closure was based on 'strict professional and legal considerations,' while the World Central Kitchen demanded an independent commission to investigate the strike. Australia summoned Israel's ambassador to protest the closure, joining the UK and Canada in calling for transparency.
