Australia’s foreign affairs minister Penny Wong says she is “outraged” after Israel’s decision not to pursue criminal proceedings over Gaza strikes that killed Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom and six others. Wong says she will call in the Israeli ambassador and condemns the timing of the decision, which comes on World Humanitarian Day.
Wong describes the decision as “insulting,” and the government’s response focuses on seeking accountability for the attack on a humanitarian convoy. The outlets report that the decision follows an IDF determination not to open a criminal investigation into those responsible for the 2024 “triple drone strike” involving World Central Kitchen vehicles.
The coverage centers on Australia’s reaction and the diplomatic step of calling in the ambassador, with a shared emphasis on the government’s criticism of both the outcome and the decision’s timing. No alternative perspective from Israeli officials is included in the provided accounts.
