WARSAW (Reuters) – Poland said on Friday the Israeli ambassador had apologized after an Israeli air strike in Gaza this week killed a Polish aid worker.

Damian Sobol, a volunteer from southeastern Poland, was one of seven people working for celebrity chef Jose Andres’ World Central Kitchen who were killed in an airstrike in central Gaza on Monday.

Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Andrzej Sejna said during a press conference, “I handed a note of protest to the ambassador. The ambassador apologized for this incident, which has no precedent in the history of the civilized world.”

Israeli Ambassador Yaakov Livne will not be expelled from Poland, Sejna said.

He said Poland demanded that Polish prosecutors in Israel participate in the investigation and that disciplinary action be taken against the soldiers responsible for the incident.

“The information we have received so far is not satisfactory but we see this meeting as a change,” Sejana said.
