The Australian government has responded to the killing of seven aid workers in Gaza, including Australian citizen Zomi Frankcom, by the Israeli military. Industry Minister Ed Husic criticized the incident as a 'systematic failure' in observing international humanitarian law. Foreign Minister Penny Wong emphasized that the deaths, involving workers from the World Central Kitchen convoy, cannot be overlooked by the Israeli government. To address the situation, the Albanese government has appointed former defence chief Mark Binskin as Australia's special adviser on the matter. Binskin's role will involve scrutinizing the IDF's investigation into the strike. The appointment has sparked debate, with Greg Sheridan criticizing the government's response as 'disgraceful,' while others suggest Israel should similarly appoint a special adviser to examine Australia's military operations.
Perhaps Israel should likewise appoint a 'Special Advisor', like Australia did, to determine whether the incoming Chief of the Australian Defense Forces oversaw the deaths of any civilians during the wars in Afghanistan and against ISIS? @AlboMP @SenatorWong @AusAmbIsrael https://t.co/iXImcZvMrk
During the wars in Iraq & Afghanistan, Binskin served in the most senior roles, overseeing Australia's military air-force operations. Maybe Israel should appoint a Special Advisor to look into Australia's role in death of civilians? What do you say @SenatorWong @AusAmbIsrael? https://t.co/peLomK7X9o
As Australia appoints a special military adviser, we ask what he can realistically achieve - and what’s Israel’s next move: https://t.co/j5lXsLIfh6 https://t.co/36cSzfHN7s
Pleased to recommend to the Governor-General that Vice Admiral David Johnston be appointed as the new Chief of the Defence Force. And to recommend Air Marshal Robert Chipman as the new Vice Chief of the Defence Force.
Maybe Israel should tap a senior IDF chief to monitor and scrutinize all of Australia's military operations. What do you think @SenatorWong @AusAmbIsrael? https://t.co/7XjZQfnZ4X
