Speaker 1 (00:00):
Last night, an incident took place in Gaza that resulted in the tragic death of World Central Kitchen employees as they fulfilled the vital mission of bringing food to people in need. As a professional military committed to international law, we are committed to examining our operations thoroughly and transparently. I just spoke to WCK founder Chef Jose Andres, and expressed the deepest condolences of Israel defense forces to the families and the entire World Central Kitchen family. We also express sincere sorrow to our allied nations who have been doing and continue to do so much to assist those in need. We have been reviewing the incident in the highest levels to understand the circumstances of what happened and how it happened. We will be opening a probe to examine this serious incident further. This will help us reduce the risk of such an event from occurring again. The incident will be investigated in the fact finding and assessment mechanism, an independent, professional, and expert body.
