The timing of Israel's decision is seen as "especially insulting" by the Australian government, says Wong. The government plans to call in the Israeli ambassador in response to the decision.
The controversy stems from allegations that the Israeli military failed to conduct a thorough investigation into the killing, which has raised concerns about accountability and transparency.
