US Investigator Confirms Government Cover Up Of Shireen Abu Aqla’s Murder By Israel
The conclusions of a US State Department investigation into the assassination of the Al-Jazeera reporter were changed to exonerate Israel
A former US military policeman who investigated the killing of US-Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Aqla says an Israeli soldier deliberately shot her, but his superiors at the State Department changed the conclusions of his report to claim the killing was unintentional, the New York Times (NYT) reported on 27 October.
Abu Aqla was shot and killed by an Israeli soldier in Jenin in the West Bank in May 2022 while reporting for Al-Jazeera on clashes between the Israeli army and Palestinian resistance forces.
Israel initially claimed that Palestinian fighters had killed Abu Aqla, but belatedly apologized for her death a full year later.
The US State Department delivered a report in July 2022 saying that while Israeli soldiers were “likely responsible,” its investigators “found no reason to believe that this was intentional.”
However, Colonel Steve Gabavics, a career military policeman with 30 years’ experience, told the NYT that an Israeli soldier deliberately killed her.
