> Foreign minister Penny Wong says Australia is “outraged” that the Israel Defense Forces will not pursue a criminal investigation into the 2024 strike on a World Central Kitchen aid convoy that killed Australian Zomi Frankcom and six others. Wong will summon Israel’s ambassador and says the decision falls far short of the accountability Australia expects.
