Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has pressed Israeli President Isaac Herzog about the death of an Australian aid worker in Gaza during the head of state’s visit to Canberra.

The prime minister confirmed he raised the issue of Zomi Frankcom, who was killed by an Israeli drone strike while working for World Central Kitchen in April 2024.
