The missing piece of evidence Australia is still pursuing after Zomi Frankcom's killing

Australia says critical questions remain unresolved after Israel concluded its two-year investigation into the fatal strike.

The missing piece of evidence Australia is still pursuing after Zomi Frankcom's killing

The family of slain Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom continue their quest for justice, with a crucial piece of the puzzle still missing: the drone audio footage. Israel announced it would not prosecute over the April 2024 killing of Frankcom and six colleagues, citing procedural failures but not deliberate targeting of aid workers.

The Israeli ambassador to Australia, Hillel Newman, suggested the audio might contain intelligence information and could not undermine the IDF's findings. However, Foreign Minister Penny Wong expressed outrage over the decision and doubts about the IDF's two-year investigation, calling for transparency and release of the missing audio.

The issue remains unresolved, with Wong emphasizing the need for a more transparent investigation and Australia continuing to press for justice.
