Poland’s deputy foreign minister has handed a diplomatic note to Israel’s ambassador protesting the killing of a Polish aid worker in an attack earlier this week on a convoy of aid workers in Gaza.
Friends and residents gathered to place candles and flowers in honor of Damian Soból, a Polish food aid worker who was killed with six other World Central Kirchen workers by Israeli airstrike in Gaza this week, in Soból’s hometown of Przemysl, in southeastern Poland , on Thursday, April 4, 2024. Poland is demanding that Israel pay compensation to the family of the killed charity worker and is urgently awaiting explanations from Israel of why the convoy was shelled.
After the meeting, Deputy Foreign Minister Andrzej Szejna told reporters in Warsaw that he handed the protest note to Ambassador Yacov Livne after he was summoned because of the deaths of the World Central Kitchen workers.“At the beginning, the ambassador apologized for this unprecedented event in the history of the civilized world, that is the bombing of a car in a humanitarian convoy heading with humanitarian aid to the famine-affected Gaza Strip,” Szejna said.
Livne said on social media that during the meeting he expressed his “personal deep sorrow and sincere apologies” for the deaths of the World Central Kitchen workers, including Polish citizen Damian Soból. “We share in the grief of the families from the bottom of our hearts. I assured the Deputy Minister that Israel is fully committed to a transparent and thorough investigation of this grave tragedy,” Livne said.
He also said Poland wants the district prosecutor’s office in Przemyśl, where the Polish aid worker was from, to be allowed to participate in the investigation “and in the entire criminal and disciplinary procedure against the soldiers responsible for this murder.”
