Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has requested that Israel pursue criminal charges related to the April 1, 2024, air strike in Gaza that killed seven aid workers, including Australian Zomi Frankcom. Albanese conveyed this request to Israeli President Isaac Herzog during a meeting in Canberra on Wednesday. The strike, which killed aid workers from World Central Kitchen, also resulted in the deaths of a Palestinian, a Polish national, an American-Canadian dual citizen, and three British security staff. Herzog's visit to Australia has sparked controversy, with some lawmakers accusing him of inciting genocide in Gaza. The request for criminal charges underscores the strained relations between Australia and Israel following the incident.
