Calls for Israeli ambassador to Australia to be sent home

Israel's Ambassador to Australia Hillel Newman has defended the IDF probe into the death of Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom, which recently cleared soldiers of any criminal liability for the deadly 2024 strike on the World Central Kitchen aid convoy in Gaza. Newman's defence of the report prompted UN commissioner Chris Sidoti to call for him to be returned to Israel. David Marr discusses Newman's role with veteran Israel correspondent Irris Makler, plus they look ahead to the political challenges facing Benjamin Netanyahu as he heads into an election.  Guest: Irris Makler, freelance journalist, veteran Jerusalem correspondent
