Israel's president apologizes to aid organization founder after attack. Seven people are dead even though they only wanted to help in the Gaza Strip.
The aid organization was founded by the Spanish-born celebrity chef after the devastating earthquake in Haiti in 2010. The incident caused international consternation. Several countries demanded clarification, including the UK, which called on Israel to compensate the families of the seven killed aid workers, including a Polish citizen. The Israeli army was one of the first non-governmental organizations in Israel to help after the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7th.
