The president of the Spanish government, Pedro Sanchesharshly criticized the Israeli government on Wednesday, describing as “absolutely unacceptable” and “insufficient” its explanation for the deaths, on Monday, of seven aid workers in the Gaza strip.

Netanyahu admitted on Tuesday that these seven people were killed in an Israeli bombing.Not intentional” in Linkwhich he described as “tragic incident”.
“This happens in a war (…), we are in contact with governments and will do everything possible to ensure that produce again”, he added.
The Israeli army stated, for its part, that the attack was “a serious mistake.”
These explanations did not convince, however, Sanchezwho claimed to wait “a much more detailed clarificationmuch more detailed about what the causes were (…) also taking into account that, from what is known so far, the Israeli government knew about the action and the itinerary of this NGO on the floor in Link”.
Sánchez therefore considered “absolutely unacceptable” It is “insufficient” the explanation given so far by Netanyahualthough he did not specify the actions he could take Spain as an answer.
The seven victims (three aid workers, their three security advisors and a Palestinian driver-interpreter) worked for the NGO American World Central Cuisine.
This organization – which delivered food to the Palestinian territory, threatened by famine – was founded by the famous Spanish-American chef José Andrésto whom Sanchez called on Tuesday morning Jordan to express your regret for what happened.
Since the start of the conflict in Gaza on October 7, the socialist president of the Spanish government has become the most critical voice in relation to the Netanyahu inside the European Unionwhich led to a brief diplomatic crisis between the two countries in November.
