Israel's decision not to open a criminal investigation into the killing of seven World Central Kitchen aid workers, including Australian Zomi Frankcom, in a 2024 strike on their convoy has drawn sharp international condemnation. The UK, Canada and Australia formally condemned Israel over the refusal, with Australia's foreign minister summoning the Israeli ambassador and calling the decision 'insulting.' The controversy renews scrutiny of Israel's accountability mechanisms for incidents involving foreign nationals and aid workers killed during its Gaza campaign, and adds strain to Israel's relations with Western allies who have increasingly criticized its conduct of the war.
