WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is scheduled to speak Thursday with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the first time since Israeli military strikes killed seven World Central Kitchen aid workers earlier this week. Biden intends to convey his anger over the incident to Netanyahu during their conversation, a U.S. official said. The call between the two leaders was arranged after the strike occurred, said a separate U.S.
Israel said it didn't intend to target and kill the humanitarian aid workers, but the charity said that its team had coordinated its movements with the Israel Defense Forces and that they were traveling in a “deconflicted zone” in vehicles that included two armored cars branded with the World Central Kitchen logo. After the attack, the nonprofit organization said it was immediately pausing operations in the region. Biden and Netanyahu last spoke by phone on March 18.
