US President Joe Biden, after dozens of aid workers were murdered by "Israel", let alone the tens of thousands of Palestinians killed since the start of the onslaught, expressed his "outrage" after an Israeli airstrikes killed seven World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza.
As if he did not know the Israeli occupation would use the same armaments his administration is providing to indiscriminately target international aid workers and innocent civilians, Biden called celebrity chef Jose Andres to offer his condolences after the deaths of the aid workers.
Biden told Andres he was "heartbroken" and "conveyed he will make clear to Israel that humanitarian aid workers must be protected," White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told a briefing. Meanwhile, Biden did not even hint that he could even possibly consider not giving weapons to the Israelis for them to continue using against innocent people in Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in an obvious attempt at soothing public opinion, claimed while smiling in a video release that the targeting of a convoy of the NGO's vehicles was a mere "accident". It should be worth noting that the convoy was struck three times.

Israeli media outlet Haaretz reported, citing Israeli security sources, that after surviving one hit and attempting to seek refuge in another car, the aid crew moved to a third and ultimately met were finished off by the Israeli forces there.
"According to sources acquainted with the details of the incident, the Operation Room in charge of securing the route identified an armed person on the truck and suspected this was a terrorist," Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported.
Netanyahu stated it was an unintended accident that killed the WCK aid workers.

The truck arrived at the WKC warehouse and three other, unrelated trucks, left on a route that the NGO had informed the Israeli occupation forces of beforehand. Not only that, the IOF were informed of the exact timing the convoy would leave.
One vehicle bearing the WKC logo on its roof - just like the remainder of the vehicles - was struck by a missile, and several aid personnel were seen leaving it wounded and seeking another vehicle. The second vehicle was then struck by a missile, the few survivors that remained and sought to seek shelter in the third car were also hit as soon as they got into the third vehicle, and all seven personnel were killed.
The distance between the location in which the first aid vehicle was struck and the second was 1.56km, and the location between the location where the second and third vehicles were struck was 0.89km, rendering the distance between the first location and the last 2.3km, which means the Israeli occupation forces hunted the aid workers down and killed them in an incident that no sane person should be able to describe as an "accident".
It is misleading to describe the @WCKitchen killing as an airstrike (singular). In actual fact 3 vehicles were targeted, with the first & last being over 2.4km apart. The IDF decided to make 3 targeted strikes, not one. Geolocation from @m_osint and @ChrisOsieck #Gaza pic.twitter.com/epvtqNR4uU

The UK Foreign Ministry summoned the Israeli Ambassador to London to express the government's unequivocal condemnation of the crime and France and Canada condemned the attack. Australia also summoned the Israeli ambassador to Canberra over the crime. The US, meanwhile, just stuck with offering its condolences as if the situation was completely out of its hands.
