> Australia’s foreign minister, Penny Wong, said the government was outraged by Israel’s decision not to open criminal proceedings over the 2024 Gaza drone strikes that killed aid worker Zomi Frankcom and six other World Central Kitchen workers. Wong will summon Israel’s ambassador, calling the timing on World Humanitarian Day especially insulting and saying the decision falls far short of expected accountability.
