Israeli air strikes in April killed 7 charity workers from World Central Kitchen in Gaza, drawing widespread condemnation from the US and several allies. The dead included citizens of Australia, Britain and Poland as well as Palestinians and a dual citizen of the US and Canada.
An Australian review into the deaths released on Friday found serious failures to follow Israel Defense Forces procedures, mistaken identification and errors in decision-making.
The IDF has called the incident a grave mistake which should not have occurred.
Wong said Australia would push for full accountability for those responsible, including criminal charges if appropriate.
“The Military Advocate General of Israel is still to decide on further action,” she said in a statement.
“Our expectation remains that there be transparency about the Military Aadvocate General’s process and decision.”
