Episode 12. The death of Zomi Frankcom and Australia's weak response (6 Apr 2024)
We examine a critical moment in the ongoing conflict in Gaza—the tragic death of Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom and six colleagues from World Central Kitchen, killed by an Israeli Defense Force strike. Initially and deliberately misattributed to Hamas, the responsibility for the attack was ultimately acknowledged by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This incident has sparked a profound outcry in Australia, challenging the government's diplomatic posture toward Israel. We explore the reactions from Australian leaders, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Foreign Minister Penny Wong, who have faced criticism for their historically cautious approach. In light of these events, both have made public their demands for accountability from Israel, reflecting a potential shift in Australia's foreign policy stance. We look at the broader implications of this incident on international relations and domestic politics in Australia. With calls growing louder for more assertive actions such as recalling ambassadors and imposing sanctions, this episode could be a turning point for Australia. We discuss the pressure on the Australian government to realign its foreign policy, particularly in light of past positions held by Albanese and others within the Labour Party on Palestinian rights. This discussion is set against a backdrop of increased public and political dissatisfaction with the Australian government's handling of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, highlighting the deep divisions and potent emotions surrounding this issue.
