Australia outraged over Israel's aid worker probe decision

Australia has summoned the Israeli ambassador and expressed 'outrage' at the IDF's decision not to launch criminal proceedings over the deaths of seven World Central Kitchen aid workers, including Australian Zomi Frankcom.

The decision was announced on World Humanitarian Day, drawing further criticism.

Australia's Foreign Minister Penny Wong said the move 'falls far short of the accountability we expect'.

The incident has strained diplomatic relations between the two countries.
