The Australian Federal Police has launched an investigation into allegations Israeli officials sexually assaulted four Australian women who were detained after joining the Global Sumud Flotilla.
The alleged mistreatment drew global attention when Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir posted a video of him and Israeli officials antagonising activists in their custody.
Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong and Multicultural Minister Anne Aly are demanding an independent and transparent inquiry by Israeli authorities.
However, any potential charges laid by the AFP would be contingent on cooperation from Israeli authorities. The Israeli embassy in Australia has rejected the claims, labelling the women 'professional provocateurs'.
