Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong on Thursday criticized Israel's decision not to prosecute soldiers responsible for killing Australian humanitarian worker Lalzawmi "Zomi" Frankcom in Gaza. She announced that she will summon the Israeli ambassador to Canberra. sme.sk ↗
Israel's decision sparked a sharp reaction in Australia after the Israeli military stated on Wednesday that soldiers mistakenly believed the humanitarian workers in the vehicles to be armed Hamas members. The military also claimed that the convoy had deviated from the previously agreed route. teraz.sk ↗
Wong rejected the conclusion that no one would be prosecuted for the death of the Australian woman. The summons of the ambassador is to be a formal expression of the Australian government's disagreement with Israel's approach and with how the case was closed. aktuality.sk ↗
The case remains a sensitive issue in Australian-Israeli relations, as it concerns the death of an Australian citizen during humanitarian activities in the Gaza Strip. Further developments will depend on Israel's diplomatic response and on whether Canberra will demand further explanations or action against those involved in the incident.
