Israel should learn from the killing of seven humanitarian workers, according to the Coalition's foreign affairs spokesperson Simon Birmingham.
The killing of seven humanitarian workers was a "mistake" that Israel should learn from, the Coalition's foreign affairs spokesperson Simon Birmingham says.
Israel is investigating and has dismissed two officers over the strike, which it said broke its own rules but has said was accidental.But Foreign Minister Penny Wong has said the incident cannot be "brushed aside" and has called for "full accountability", announcing plans to appoint a "special adviser" to keep Australia informed about Israel's investigation.
"We want to understand how procedures will change to ensure that humanitarian workers can operate safely … we expect that those processes should continue to be transparent." " is a terrorist organisation, recognised as such here in Australia, that is committed to the elimination of Israel … no country could or would live alongside that type of threat."
Industry Minister Ed Husic said on Sunday the Coalition had been "utterly silent" and "particularly weak" in response to the death."This is not war. War has rules, rules that have been agreed upon by the international community … Israel has been urged to abide by those rules," she said."If the Israeli government wants to continue to utilise war as a context for its actions, then it needs to start abiding by the expected principles of war.
