Chef Jose Andres says Israel targeted his aid workers 'systematically, car by car' [View all]

WASHINGTON, April 3 (Reuters) - Celebrity chef Jose Andres told Reuters in an interview on Wednesday that an Israeli attack that killed seven of his food aid workers in Gaza had targeted them "systematically, car by car."

Speaking in a video interview, Andres said the World Central Kitchen (WCK) charity group he founded had clear communication with the Israeli military, which he said knew his aid workers' movements.

"This was not just a bad luck situation where ‘oops’ we dropped the bomb in the wrong place," Andres said. "Even if we were not in coordination with the (Israel Defense Forces), no democratic country and no military can be targeting civilians and humanitarians."

Andres said there may have been more than three strikes against the aid convoy. He said he was supposed to be in Gaza with his team but for different reasons "wasn't able to go back again to Gaza."

"The U.S. must do more to tell Prime Minister Netanyahu this war needs to end now," he said.
Andres said his organization was still studying the safety situation in Gaza as it contemplates starting aid deliveries again.

Of course they did. 3 different bombs. 3 different cars. WCK was in communication w/IDF and they had their route Nanjeanne Apr 3 #9

Do you think the IDF meant to kill those 3 Israelis? SunSeeker Apr 5 #70

You are equating worldwide across a year with one small area in 6 months? Nanjeanne Apr 4 #59

No, I am responding to the assertion that the deaths of 7 aid workers is unusual in a war zone. SunSeeker Apr 5 #71

7 is not. How about 198 which is the figure for this 6 month war? Nanjeanne Apr 5 #73

You have a non-Hamas link to who killed all 198? SunSeeker Apr 5 #76

What's a non-Hamas link? I don't frequent Hamas sites so I'm unsure what you are asking. Perhaps Nanjeanne Apr 5 #77

A non-Hamas link is a link that does not regurtitate Hamas claims as gospel. SunSeeker Apr 5 #78

No snark or insult. Using something like asking a DU person to give you a non-Hamas link shows me that Nanjeanne Apr 5 #79

None of your links even discuss how the aid workers died. They are simply nonresponsive. SunSeeker Apr 5 #81

I didn't say your 2 links repeated Hamas' word, I said they were nonresponsive. SunSeeker Apr 5 #83
