Algeria demands that anger over the killing of aid workers be equated with Palestinian victims

Algeria’s representative to the UN Security Council, Ammar Benjameh, said on Friday that “the massive media coverage and anger in the wake of the killing of World Central Kitchen employees would not be justified if they were not equal to the anger over the killing of Palestinian civilians.”“.

This came in a session held by the UN Security Council on Friday morning, to discuss the situation in Gaza, at the request of Algeria following the killing of 7 aid workers with the World Central Kitchen organization in several air strikes launched by the Israeli army, on Monday..

The Algerian diplomat added that the crime committed by Israel against the employees of the World Central Kitchen in the Gaza Strip “was not a surprise and is not an exception.”“.

Ben Jamaa quoted the founder of World Central Kitchen, José Andres, who said that the attack targeted employees “systematically, one vehicle after another.”“.

The Algerian ambassador described the incident as “a new chapter in the book of (Israeli) crimes committed.”“.

He pointed out that “the victims are not Palestinians, and their brutal killing deserves condemnation on an equal footing with the killing of civilians in Gaza.”“.

He said, “The massive media coverage and anger in the wake of the killing of the organization’s workers would not be justified if they were not equal to anger over the killing of Palestinian civilians.”“.
