以色列国防军宣布不对2024年4月1日加沙汗尤尼斯的无人机空袭事件提起刑事诉讼，该空袭造成澳大利亚援助工作者Zomi Frankcom及其世界中央厨房的6名同事死亡2。以色列军事检察官称"没有合理的刑事不当行为嫌疑"2，但这一决定引发澳大利亚政府的强烈不满。澳大利亚总理Anthony Albanese称这是"一种暴行"2，外长黄英贤表示该决定"远达不到我们期望的问责程度"2，并称这一决定特别具有侮辱性和伤害性，因为澳大利亚刚宣布了为Frankcom设立的奖项2。
黄英贤指出调查中存在的严重问题2。她表示"即使第一次打击是灾难性错误，随后还有两次打击，每次相隔两分钟"2，且"我们仍未获得关于为何在人道主义火力控制区进行打击的令人满意的解释"2。澳大利亚前国防部长进行的独立调查得出结论，援助工作者"不是有意被针对"，但发现了"过程中的严重失职"和"决策中的错误和身份错误"3。澳大利亚已召见以色列驻澳大利亚大使Hillel Newman进行外交谴责2，虽然一些人呼吁驱逐该大使，但澳大利亚政府拒绝了这一要求2。
Frankcom的哥哥Mal Frankcom表示："我们一家及其他6名世界中央厨房援助工作者的家属已等待两年多寻求正义"2。以色列方面已对两名军官进行解职处分，并对三名高级军官进行了正式谴责2。以色列大使纽曼表示以色列愿意讨论赔偿问题3。
Israel's military announced it will not pursue criminal charges related to the April 1, 2024 drone strike in Khan Younis, Gaza that killed Australian humanitarian worker Zomi Frankcom and six colleagues from World Central Kitchen, stating there was "no reasonable suspicion of criminal misconduct."2 The decision has triggered an unprecedented diplomatic row with Canberra, with Australian officials denouncing the move as falling catastrophically short of accountability expectations.
Foreign Minister Penny Wong said the decision to close the investigation without criminal prosecution represented "far below the level of accountability we expect," describing the timing—announced just hours after an award ceremony honoring Frankcom—as "particularly insulting and hurtful."2 Prime Minister Anthony Albanese characterized Israel's conclusion as "an outrage,"3 while Wong raised specific questions about the operation itself: "even if the first strike was a catastrophic mistake, there were two subsequent strikes, each two minutes apart," and called for clarification on "why the strike occurred in a humanitarian fire control zone."2
Frankcom's family has also expressed profound dissatisfaction with the outcome. His brother Mal Frankcom stated, "Our family and the families of the other six World Central Kitchen aid workers have been waiting more than two years seeking justice."2 Israel's response included administrative measures—two military officers were dismissed and three senior officers received formal reprimands—but no criminal liability was assigned.2 Australian officials summoned Israeli Ambassador Hillel Newman for diplomatic protests, though the government declined calls for his expulsion.2 Ambassador Newman indicated Israel remains open to discussions on reparations,3 though no formal compensation framework has been established.
This confrontation marks a sharp deterioration in Australia-Israel relations. Since October 7, 2023, when Hamas killed over 1,200 people and took 251 hostages,1 Australia has progressively shifted its stance: in June 2025, it joined four other countries in sanctioning Israeli ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich,1 and in September 2025, formally recognized Palestinian statehood.1
