Wong takes strong stance on Israel abusing Aussies by not including a ‘hope you’re well’ in latest email

Foreign Affairs Minister and “deep concern” enthusiast Penny Wong has taken swift and decisive action following Israeli officials posting footage of Israeli officers assaulting activists from the flotilla bringing aid to Gaza who were being held illegally, including multiple Australians.

Initially Wong responded on behalf of the Australian government by tweeting that she didn’t like that Israel posted the video. Which by condemnation of Israeli actions standards, was already considered one of her strongest stances thus far.

But Labor insiders have revealed that Wong has even gone to the extreme of sending an email to Netanyahu about the incident, where she didn’t include “hope you’re well” after the hello.

Sources suggest that she hopes things don’t escalate to the point where she needs to send a follow up with “as per my last email”.

Wong has also called in the ambassador, who has still not been expelled, to have a chat where reportedly the ambassador will only be offered instant coffee instead of sending a staffer to a cafe for latte.
