Federal police have left the door open to investigating allegations a group of Australians were kidnapped, tortured and raped by Israeli authorities while they were trying to deliver aid to Gaza.
Eleven Australians took part in the Global Sumud Flotilla to Gaza in May when they were detained in international waters at gunpoint, before being imprisoned and eventually deported from Israel.
Members of the group claim they experienced violence, sexual assault and abuse while in the custody of the Israelis.
Some of the Australian participants met with Foreign Minister Penny Wong and senior members of the Australian Federal Police on Monday afternoon at Parliament House.
During the meeting, they pressed for commitments from the federal government, including the expulsion of Israel's ambassador to Australia.
