Poland demands compensation from Israel after attack

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk wants Israel to pay compensation after the attack on an aid convoy in which, among other things, a Polish aid worker was killed on Monday. This is reported by Rzeczpospolita.

- The word "sorry", full information about the circumstances surrounding the attacks and compensation should be self-evident, Tusk told the newspaper.

A total of seven people were killed in the attack on the aid convoy. Israel's ambassador to Poland has previously said that he feels "deep regret" over the incident.

Biden and Netanyahu in a first conversation after the attack

Later on Thursday, US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will speak to each other, the BBC reports. It will be the first conversation between the leaders since seven aid workers from the World Central Kitchens organization were killed in an Israeli attack in Gaza.

According to American sources, Biden is expected to highlight the importance of better protection for civilians and request that Israel allow more aid into Gaza.

The attack on the aid convoy has been met with widespread criticism from the outside world. Israel has declared that the attack was accidental.

However, this explanation is not accepted by José Andrés, founder of World central kitchens. He states that the attack took place despite Israel having detailed information about the organization's efforts in Gaza.

- It was not bad luck, not the "hope" we dropped bombs in the wrong place, says Andrés in an interview with the Reuters news agency.
