    Foreign Minister Wong's attacks on Israel put Australia on a hiding to nothing.

    The aid worker deaths are a fact and can't be altered.

    Wong's fighting words can only be for virtue signalling to western suburbs muslims.

    There are not many Hamas voting in Australia.

    The whole purpose of Foreign Affairs is to put your country in a good light and gain advantage.
    Siding with terrorists isn't going to help.

    The ABC is puzzled by the Wong and now Albanese hostility to Israel over a war on the other side of the planet.

    What will Australia's special adviser on Israel's air strikes achieve?

    By political reporter Tom Crowley

    The federal government has appointed former ADF chief Mark Binskin to monitor Israel's response to its air strikes which killed Australian Zomi Frankcom and six other aid workers.

    Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the purpose of the appointment was to shed further light on what he called "a completely unacceptable situation" which Australians were "quite rightly outraged by".

    What is the role of a special adviser, and how does the government envisage Mark Binskin will ensure the "full accountability" it seeks?

    Who is he?

    Air Chief Marshal Binskin was the Australian Defence Force chief for four years. His background is in the air force, and he has experience in the targeting of air strikes.
