‘An insult’: Zomi Frankcom’s family issues strongly-worded statement as Israel rejects criminal investigation into her killing

The family of slain Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom issued a strongly worded statement calling Israel's decision not to reopen a criminal investigation into her killing an insult. They said the decision comes as Israel has refused accountability for her death.

Frankcom was an Australian aid worker who was killed while helping distribute food in Gaza, and Israel declined to prosecute the case. Her family insists on the fair treatment of her death and the release of the evidence.

The family's statement defines the custody that Australia holds over the death of a citizen in conflict. It matters to the future treatment of Australian aid workers abroad.
