Several conservative critics have blasted José Andrés for being a so-called anti-Israel “radical” in the wake of the deadly World Central Kitchen (WCK) drone strikes. On April 1, seven WCK aid workers were killed in an airstrike carried out by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in the Gaza Strip. The workers were from Australia, Poland, the United Kingdom, a dual citizen of the U.S. and Canada, and Palestine.
Andrés is the founder of WCK, the not-for-profit organization that provides fresh meals in response to humanitarian, climate and community crises, per its official website.
