Australia 'outraged' over Israel decision to close probe into aid worker killings

France 24 [en]

Australia's top diplomat Penny Wong on Thursday said relations with Israel were "difficult" after it dropped a probe into the killing of aid worker Lalzawmi "Zomi" Frankcom and her colleagues in Gaza. Australian national Frankcom was among a group of seven World Central Kitchen staff killed in April 2024 when their aid convoy was hit by an Israeli air strike. Their deaths triggered global outrage and a renewed push to ensure the safety of aid workers in Gaza.
