Australia will now investigate Israel over Assault Claims | West Report Live

Streamed live on 16 Jun 2026 The West Report

This is the biggest story most Australians have not yet grasped.

Today, in Canberra, Australian survivors of physical, psychological and sexual abuse by Israeli authorities met with Foreign Minister Penny Wong, the Hon Dr Anne Aly MP, a Deputy Commissioner of the Australian Federal Police, and a senior DFAT official.
