Chef José Andrés released a video in which he harshly criticizes the Israeli Military Prosecutor's decision not to investigate the Israeli strike that killed seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen in Gaza, the non-governmental organization founded by himself. In the video, Andrés expresses his disagreement with the resolution of the Israeli military authorities.
The seven members of World Central Kitchen died during an Israeli airstrike in Gaza in the year 2024. The humanitarian organization, known for providing meals in conflict zones, lost several of its aid workers in the Gaza Strip, which generated strong international condemnation at the time.
The decision by the Israeli Military Prosecutor not to open a formal investigation into the incident prompted José Andrés' reaction. The Spanish-American chef considered it unacceptable that there is no accountability for what happened to his colleagues.
World Central Kitchen is an NGO founded by José Andrés that is dedicated to bringing food assistance to populations affected by humanitarian crises and armed conflicts around the world. The attack in Gaza represented one of the most serious incidents involving humanitarian organizations in the region.
