Israel reveals US probe into Shireen Abu Akleh’s death but says it ‘will not cooperate’

CNN  

CNN — A top Israeli official has confirmed the existence of a US investigation into the killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh but said Israel’s government would not cooperate with the American probe, calling it a “mistake.” Defense Minister Benny Gantz revealed details of the previously unknown investigation by the Justice Department into the death of the Al Jazeera correspondent, who was shot dead during an Israeli military operation in the West Bank city of Jenin in May. The IDF’s Military Advocate General said it would not press charges against any soldiers and that there was “no suspicion that a bullet was fired deliberately at anyone identified as a civilian and in particular at anyone identified as a journalist.” Abu Akleh was wearing a protective vest labeled “Press” on the front and back, at the time of her death. He added on Twitter: “The decision taken by the US Justice Department to conduct an investigation into the tragic passing of Shireen Abu Akleh is a mistake.” Israeli media had previously reported that US officials informed their Israeli counterparts they may be requesting materials related to the journalist’s death. The US Justice Department and US State Department declined to comment Monday on the American probe, but the latter said “our thoughts remain with the Abu Akleh family as they grieve this tremendous loss.
