UK, Canada, Australia slam Israel ending probe into aid worker killings

The UK, Canada, and Australia have condemned Israel's decision to close an investigation into the 2024 killing of seven aid workers in Gaza. According to Middle East Eye, the three countries described the decision as "shameful".

The aid workers, who were killed in a drone strike, included Australian Zomi Frankcom, three Britons, a dual US-Canadian national, a Pole, and a Palestinian, as reported by ABC News AU.

The Israeli military announced on August 19, 2026, that it would not pursue criminal investigations into the strike, which occurred on World Humanitarian Day, a fact noted by Middle East Eye.
