Spanish prime minister criticises Israel's justifications on Gaza air strike

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said that the justifications given by Israel regarding the air strike in Gaza, which resulted in the death of seven people associated with the aid organisation World Central Kitchen, were inadequate and unacceptable.

Sanchez demanded further details.

"That is unacceptable and insufficient, and we are awaiting a much stronger and more detailed clarification, after which we'll see what action to take," Sanchez told a news briefing on Wednesday while visiting Qatar.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the incident "a tragic event in which our forces unintentionally harmed non-combatants", adding that "this happens in war".
