> The family of Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom has condemned the IDF’s decision not to open a criminal investigation into her death in the strike on a World Central Kitchen convoy. They want evidence, including drone audio, released and are urging Australia to pursue an independent inquiry. Penny Wong summoned Israel’s ambassador, while Anthony Albanese called the decision an “outrage”.
