Evidence withheld in Israeli killings of aid workers

Britain and Israel are withholding crucial electronic recordings related to the deaths of seven international aid workers in Gaza on 1 April 2024, including Australian Zomi Frankcom, who was killed in an Israeli drone strike.

This move, amid ongoing settler incursions, follows Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s controversial claim of Jewish prayer rights at the site.

The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation has condemned Ben-Gvir’s statements and desecration of the mosque’s courtyards by settler groups and ministers as “a blatant breach of the Geneva Conventions and international law.”
