Minister Radosław Sikorski, in a conversation with Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs Israel Katz, called for an impartial investigation into the attack on a humanitarian convoy in the Gaza Strip, in which a Polish citizen died – the Ministry of Foreign Affairs informed. "Minister Sikorski emphasized that Poland is shocked by the shelling and the death of seven members of a humanitarian organization in Gaza who were bringing aid to other people. Especially since the attack occurred on World Central Kitchen – a completely apolitical organization that has previously helped refugees from Ukraine in Poland, as well as Israeli citizens evacuated after the Hamas attack. The head of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted that the Polish prosecution is conducting an investigation into this matter, and the incident should be considered in a criminal context. In response, he heard assurances from Minister Katz that the Israeli investigation "will be independent". Minister Israel Katz extended his condolences to the Polish government, nation, and the family of the Polish volunteer killed in the attack, and announced that the investigation will prevent such incidents in the future. He assured that the Israeli government, during the ongoing conflict, is concerned about the safety of civilians and humanitarian mission workers. He stressed that the goal of the Israeli authorities is to eliminate Hamas, which poses a threat to the civilian population. Minister Sikorski pointed out that for the credibility of Israel's actions and the future of peace in the Middle East, it is essential that the current military operation in Gaza be accompanied by a political process and the presentation of proposals for the Palestinian nation.
