According to the NGO World Central Kitchen (WCK), seven individuals associated with celebrity chef Jose Andres' organisation were tragically killed in an Israeli airstrike in central Gaza on Monday.
The victims hailed from Australia, Britain, Poland, the United States, Canada, and Palestine.
They were travelling in two armoured vehicles adorned with the WCK logo, along with another vehicle, as stated by WCK in a released statement.
Israel has consistently refuted accusations of obstructing the distribution of essential food aid in Gaza, attributing the challenge to the logistical constraints faced by international aid organisations.
However, despite coordination efforts with the Israeli Defense Force (IDF), a convoy was struck while departing from its Deir al-Balah warehouse.
This occurred subsequent to the unloading of over 100 tons of humanitarian food aid, which had been transported to Gaza via sea, as stated by WCK.

Tensions are escalating between the French government and students at prestigious universities who are organising pro-Palestine demonstrations in response to Israel's conflict with Gaza, drawing inspiration from similar protests by their counterparts in the United States. At the Sciences Po university in Paris, students occupied sections of the campus and obstructed access to a building last week, prompting the intervention of riot police.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu affirmed plans for a ground assault on Gaza's Rafah city, disregarding ceasefire negotiations with Hamas. Despite US pressure for de-escalation, Netanyahu remained resolute, citing the need to achieve military objectives against Hamas. The conflict, sparked by Hamas's October 7 attack on Israel, has resulted in significant casualties, with families of hostages urging international intervention for their release.

According to McDonald's, higher sales in the
United States helped the fast-food giant overcome
weakness in markets where the brand is being boycotted.
The company saw same-store sales rise by
1.9% worldwide between January and March,
below the Wall Street forecast of 2.1%.
Increased menu pricing and delivery demand
saw same-store sales in the U.S. increase by 2.5%.
In international markets, sales fell
by 0.2% for the first time since 2020.
Despite this, McDonald's said the company's revenue
increased 5% to reach $6.17 billion, while net income went
up 7% to $1.93 billion, in-line with Wall Street estimates.
'The Independent' reports that Muslim-majority
markets like Indonesia, Malaysia and the Middle East
have been boycotting McDonald's for months.
The boycotts started after a McDonald's franchise in
Israel announced in October that it would provide free
meals for Israeli troops amid the ongoing war in Gaza.
In the months since then, the company has tried to limit
the fallout by taking over all 225 McDonald's in the country
with the purchase of Alyonal Limited, its Israeli franchise.
Our hearts remain with
the communities and families
impacted by the war in the Middle East.
We abhor violence of any kind and
firmly stand against hate speech,
and we will always proudly
open our doors to everyone, McDonald's statement, via 'The Indepndent'.

that two officers in connection with
the incident have been dismissed. .
Three other officers have been reprimanded.

It’s a tragedy, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, spokesman
for the Israeli military, via statement.
It’s a serious event that we are
responsible for and it shouldn’t
have happened and we will make
sure that it won’t happen again, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, spokesman
for the Israeli military, via statement.
World Central Kitchen referred to the probe and disciplinary actions as "important steps forward,".
but called out the army for
failing to follow its own protocols.

be more military failures, more
apologies and more grieving families, World Central Kitchen, via statement.

An Israeli inquiry into the airstrike that claimed lives of seven aid workers in Gaza found serious military errors, resulting in two officers being dismissed and senior commanders reprimanded. The military mistakenly targeted World Central Kitchen's vehicles, believing they belonged to Hamas. Visibility issues in the dark hindered the identification of aid workers' logos.

In a significant development, a top Hamas official indicated to The Associated Press a willingness to consider a five-year truce with Israel and disarm if a Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders. However, Israel's staunch opposition to this proposal suggests substantial hurdles to achieving a lasting peace agreement.

In an unprecedented move, the United States is preparing to enact sanctions against an army unit of its steadfast ally, Israel's Israeli Defence Forces (IDF). As reported by Axios, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is anticipated to declare sanctions targeting the Israel Defense Forces' "Netzah Yehuda" battalion in the near future. Allegations of human rights violations within the Israeli-held West Bank have prompted this action against the Netzah Yehuda battalion.
