WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden on Tuesday said he was 'outraged and heartbroken' by the killing of seven World Central Kitchen humanitarian workers, delivering some of his strongest criticism of Israel since the start of its war with Hamas. 'This conflict has been one of the worst in recent memory in terms of how many aid workers have been killed,' Biden said in a statement.
Biden won Michigan narrowly in 2020, while former President Donald Trump won it narrowly in 2016. Earlier on Tuesday, Biden called José Andrés, the high-profile chef who founded World Central Kitchen, 'to express that he's heartbroken,' said White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre during a daily briefing. World Central Kitchen announced that it was pausing aid efforts in Gaza after the killings.
