Summary
Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong has firmly backed Australian women who allege sexual assault by Israeli soldiers during a Gaza flotilla, calling the claims “horrific” and “unacceptable,” and reaffirming her principle to always believe women in sexual assault allegations. The eleven Australians, detained after their humanitarian mission was intercepted, are now demanding accountability and a meeting to share their testimonies, while Israel denies all abuse and calls the allegations politically motivated provocations — a stance that has strained Australia-Israel relations to a breaking point.
