    Remember Hind Rajab. Justice for all victims of Israel.#Israel #genocide #CrimesAgainstHumanity #WarCrimes #Gaza #Palestine instagram.com/p/DcSq7UyuBjs/

    ![Statement by Kaouther Ben Hania

    Following the Israeli military's announcement that it is opening a criminal investigation into the killing of Hind Rajab, many journalists have reached out to me. I do not wish to give interviews, but I want to say this. This announcement is a smokescreen. For more than two years, the evidence has been there: independent investigations, satellite imagery, ballistic analysis. And there was the most devastating evidence of all: Hind's own voice, describing the Israeli tanks circling around her. What more did we need?

    Did we really have to wait for the accused to decide to investigate itself (yes, itself!) before these facts could finally be taken seriously? Look at the cases the Israeli military is choosing to speak about today: they are precisely the ones that international public opinion has made impossible to ignore. And what about all the others? Those whose names we will never know because their deaths never broke through the wall of international indifference? Meanwhile, the Israeli military continues to kill Palestinians in Gaza, while the occupation intensifies in the West Bank. What is needed now is not a public relations operation. What is needed is justice (delivered by an independent authority) for Hind and for all the victims of the genocide in Gaza.

    . Formally reject Israel's decision . Refer the matter to the AFP · Pursue avenues for independent investigation and accountability . Coordinate with the governments of the other World Central Kitchen workers killed . Demand the release of all evidence relating to the attack . Publish the Government's assessment of Israel's final decision . Implement targeted sanctions .

    “Israel investigated itself over the killing of an Australian citizen and concluded nobody is criminally responsible. This absolute impunity is an insult to the memory of incredible aid workers like Zomi Frankcom,” said Sarah Schwartz, Executive Director of the Jewish Council of Australia.jewishcouncil.com.au/2026/08/c#AusPol #Israel #CrimesAgainstHumanity #genocide #WarCrimes #Gaza #Palestine

    ![Israeli ambassador breaks silence as IDF review clears soldiers over Zomi Frankcom death

    By Matthew Knott, Sarah McPhee and David Crowe Updated August 20, 2026 - 11:49am, first published August 20, 2026 - 12:43am

    Israel's ambassador to Australia has defended the Israeli investigation that cleared its military of any criminal wrongdoing over an attack in Gaza that killed seven aid workers, including Australian Zomi Frankcom, after Foreign Minister Penny Wong summoned him to Parliament House for a rebuke. Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi said she was "apalled" by the ambassador's comments, arguing he should have been expelled from the country.

    "There is no doubt that this is a war crime," she said as she called for the International Criminal Court to investigate Frankcom's killing.](https://cdn.theblower.au/media_attachments/files/117/126/266/966/069/615/original/4108da868a9bece7.png)
