'If we allow Shireen's killing to be swept under the rug, we send a message that the lives of U.S. citizens abroad don't matter,' say relatives of Shireen Abu Akleh, the Palestinian-American Al Jazeera reporter shot dead by Israeli forces in May.
"We're hoping for a stronger stand for a U.S. citizen, a prominent journalist killed by an Israeli sniper," he continued."We're disappointed and we hope that there will be a real, independent investigation. A thorough and credible investigation opened by the U.S. government for the killing of Shireen who was also a Palestinian but an American as well."
"You know, this puts every American in danger if no action is taken and there is no accountability," Abu Akleh added.If we allow Shireen's killing to be swept under the rug, we send a message that the lives of U.S. citizens abroad don't matter, that the lives of Palestinians living under Israeli occupation don't matter, and that the most courageous journalists in the world, those who cover the human impact of armed conflict and violence, are expendable.
Among the family's demands are a meeting with Biden"to discuss the status of Shireen's case and the administration's proposed next steps in pursuing justice and accountability," as well as a"thorough, credible, independent, and transparent investigation into Shireen's murder." "The Israeli military killed our beloved Shireen while she was doing the work we've always been so proud of her for doing, and they did so in broad daylight, in front of cameras, and then brutally attacked her funeral procession," the statement concluded."The world expects answers. Shireen was only 51. She had so much life left to live."
