The Australian government has taken formal diplomatic action by summoning Israel’s ambassador following the Israeli military's decision to close its investigation into the deaths of seven aid workers in Gaza. Among those killed in the April 2024 airstrike was Australian national Lalzawmi "Zomi" Frankcom, who was working for the World Central Kitchen at the time of the incident.

Foreign Minister Penny Wong publicly addressed the matter, characterizing the current state of diplomatic relations between the two nations as "difficult." The summoning of the envoy serves as a protest against the decision to cease the probe, a move that has drawn significant international scrutiny. While the incident initially sparked global calls for improved safety protocols for humanitarian staff operating in conflict zones, the closure of the investigation has reignited tensions regarding accountability.

There is a slight discrepancy in how the status of the investigation is being framed. Haaretz reports that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are not conducting a probe into the killings, whereas France24 reports that Israel has actively "dropped" or closed a probe that was previously underway. Both outlets agree that the Australian government is dissatisfied with the lack of a continued, active investigation into the circumstances surrounding the convoy strike.
