Eleven Australians were detained by Israeli forces while attempting to deliver aid to Gaza, according to ABC Australia. The flotilla was intercepted in international waters, as reported by Al Jazeera. Nine of the eleven returned to Australia, according to The Guardian. Those returning allege mistreatment during detention, including sexual abuse and beatings, as reported by The Guardian and corroborated by other, Turkish, and Western outlets. Australians detained by Israeli forces have submitted evidence to the International Criminal Court alleging mistreatment during detention, according to corroborated reports from multiple sources.

Three women who joined aid missions to Gaza were present at Senate estimates, according to GDELt. Senator David Shoebridge stated that Foreign Minister Penny Wong committed to meet with the group, according to GDELt. However, GDELt and another source reported that Foreign Minister Penny Wong declined to meet with the three women, responding to a request from Senator Shoebridge. Accounts on whether a meeting was committed to differ.

Australians who returned from detention asked to meet with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, according to The Guardian. Australia has assisted 415 people to leave Gaza under Israeli occupation, according to GDELt. Canberra urges Israel to transparently probe the mistreatment of Australians on aid missions to Gaza, according to GDELt.
