UK summons Israeli ambassador over death of aid workers
Britain on Tuesday summoned the Israeli ambassador over the deaths of aid workers in Gaza, the foreign ministry said.
"I set out the Government's unequivocal condemnation of the appalling killing of seven World Central Kitchen aid workers, including three British Nationals," Britain's Minister for Development and Africa, Andrew Mitchell, said.
"I requested a quick and transparent investigation, shared with the international community, and full accountability."
