Australian foreign affairs minister Penny Wong has expressed outrage over Israel's decision not to investigate the killing of Frankcom, according to a report. 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. Wong emphasized the importance of addressing such incidents promptly and thoroughly, stating that the world is watching closely.
