Israel's ambassador summoned over IDF's Zomi Frankcom finding | ABC News Top Stories - ABC News & Headlines – Australian Broadcasting Corporation

On 20 August 2026, Australia summoned Israel's ambassador after the Israeli military decided not to open a criminal investigation into the 2024 killing of aid workers in Gaza, including Australian Zomi Frankcom. Australia's foreign minister said Australia was 'outraged', and Wong declared a 'difficult time' in relations with Israel. Israel's ambassador rejected 'political attacks' on the report clearing the soldiers, and Frankcom's family said they were 'deeply disappointed'.

Al Jazeera wrote that Israel also admitted firing on a car carrying five-year-old Hind Rajab and opened a probe. The set of stories also included many unrelated Australian news items.
