To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will make an assessment of the origin of (a) munitions and (b) hardware used by the Israel Defence Force in the drone strikes that killed World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza on 1 April 2024.
Leo Docherty
Minister of State (Ministry of Defence) (Minister for the Armed Forces)
The Government is carefully reviewing Israel’s Fact Finding and Assessment Mechanism (FFAM)’s initial findings of their investigations into the killing of World Central Kitchen aid workers and welcome the suspension of two officers as a first step. The findings of the investigation must be published in full and followed up with a wholly independent review to ensure the utmost transparency and accountability.
We continue to monitor the situation in Israel and Gaza closely but are not commenting on specific licences.
