- The IDF cleared personnel involved in the April 2024 strike on a World Central Kitchen convoy in Gaza of criminal wrongdoing; seven humanitarian workers, including Australian Zomi Frankcom, were killed.
- According to the IDF, serious failures led personnel to believe a Hamas fighter was travelling in the convoy; an armed security guard had not been reported to the military, and the convoy later took a route different from the one coordinated.
- Foreign Minister Penny Wong said Australia was outraged, that the decision fell far short of the accountability expected, and that she would summon Israel’s ambassador Hillel Newman.
- Roblox agreed to an independent audit of its safety standards and has three months to implement changes, or it could face court action and penalties of up to $100 million, according to eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant.
I'll say clearly: it's difficult not to see that this is a gratuitous insult to Zomi Frankcom's family, to her memory, to her colleagues, indeed to Australia, that this announcement was made on World Humanitarian Day.— Julian Hill, Assistant Minister, speaking to ABC Radio National Breakfast
