   Netanyahu said on Tuesday Israel mistakenly killed seven people working for the aid charity World Central Kitchen in a Gaza airstrike; killed citizens are from Australia, Britain and Poland as well as Palestinians and a dual citizen of the United States and Canada.

We are conducting a thorough inquiry and are in contact with the governments. We will do everything to prevent a recurrence."
