Faruqi argued that the government had failed to provide justice for Zomi Frankcom, who was killed by Israel two years earlier. Faruqi stated that diplomatic representations were meaningless without concrete action and criticised the Binskin review for allowing Israel to investigate its own actions. Faruqi noted that the government had not pursued independent international investigations, referred the case to the International Criminal Court, or imposed diplomatic consequences such as recalling ambassadors. Faruqi contrasted the government's inaction with the actions of aid workers and activists who continued to deliver supplies to Gaza.
