Air Chief Marshall Mark Binskin to investigate Israeli air strike

Air Chief Marshall Mark Binskin has been selected as special advisor to the investigation into an Israeli airstrike that killed seven aid workers, including one Australian. Mr Binskin has previously served as the chief of the ADF for four years, vice chief of Defence Force and chief of Air Force. The Australian government has rejected Israel's initial investigation, calling it unsatisfactory. The findings will be sent to military prosecutors, but it is unknown whether those involved in the attack will face charges. Part of the statement released by the Foreign Minister on Monday reads: ‘Part of Binskin’s work will be the examination of arrangements for the investigation of this incident, IDF policies and procedures for operational incidents, measures taken to hold those responsible to account, and if further investigation is warranted.'
