Founder of “International Kitchen”: “Israel” must stop its random crimes

The founder of the “World Central Kitchen” organization, Spanish chef José Andrés, called on the international community on Tuesday to “stop Israel’s indiscriminate crimes.”


Andres said, in a post on social media platforms, on Tuesday, that he is heartbroken and feels sorry for the families of the International Kitchen employees who lost their lives due to the Israeli strike, yesterday, Monday.


He added: “These people...the angels...are not anonymous, they are not without names, they are colleagues I worked with in Ukraine, Gaza, Turkey, Morocco, the Bahamas, and Indonesia.”


He addressed the international community, saying: “The indiscriminate crimes committed by the Israeli government must be stopped.”


He stressed that the Israeli government must stop restricting humanitarian aid, killing civilians and aid workers, and using food as a weapon, and “no more innocent lives should be lost.”


He added, "Peace begins with our common humanity. It must begin now."


On Monday evening, the Israeli army targeted the “International Kitchen” convoy in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, killing 7 people who held the nationalities of Australia, Poland, Britain, the United States, Canada, and Palestine.


Earlier Tuesday, the organization announced the suspension of its operations to transport humanitarian aid in Gaza, expressing its feeling of “shock” at the killing of 7 members of its team in an Israeli army raid on Gaza.


The organization explained that “despite coordination with the Israeli army, the convoy was bombed while leaving the Deir al-Balah warehouse (central Gaza Strip).”


Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged on Tuesday that the occupation army “unintentionally” killed seven aid workers in an air strike on the Gaza Strip, according to his claim.


Since Monday evening, Arab and international condemnations have continued for targeting international aid workers while they were trying to mitigate the effects of the “starvation war” practiced by Israel on Gaza, in addition to the catastrophic destruction it inflicted on the Strip over a period of 6 months.
