Israel will not cooperate with a U.S. investigation into the killing of Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. Israel concluded that she may have been killed by Israeli gunfire, despite wearing clearly marked press gear.
In a statement on Twitter, Gantz said the U.S. Justice Department had decided to investigate Abu Akleh’s death and called the move “a grave mistake.”
Palestinian officials have accused Israeli forces of firing deliberately on Abu Akleh and other journalists who had gathered outside Jenin to monitor the raid. In recent months, Abu Akleh’s family has led a high-profile campaign for accountability, meeting with Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Pope Francis.
