World Central Kitchen founder Jose Andres has raised questions over the Israeli probe into a strike that killed seven of his staff in Gaza, and warned that the conflict had become a “war against humanity itself”, AFP reports.

“I want to thank, obviously, the IDF, for doing such a quick investigation,” the head of the US-based charity told ABC’s “This Week.”

“At the same time, I would say with something so complicated, the investigation should be much more deeper,” he added.

“And I would say that the perpetrator cannot be investigating himself.”

When asked about the Israeli report, Andres questioned the narrative, adding that “this is not anymore about the seven men and women of World Central Kitchen that perished in this unfortunate event.”

He charged that Israel was targeting anything that “seems” to move, and has been doing so “for too long.”

“This doesn’t seem like a war against terror. This doesn’t seem any more like a war about defending Israel,” he said.

“It really, at this point, seems like a war against humanity itself,” he said.
