Family of slain Palestinian American journalist seeks justice from U.S. officials

LA Times  

The family of slain Palestinian American journalist Shireen abu Akleh was in Washington on Tuesday to lobby officials for justice and a full accounting of the veteran reporter’s death during an Israeli military raid in May. “We are here to demand justice and a credible investigation by the U.S.,” the journalist’s 27-year-old niece, Lina abu Akleh, said in an interview after her meeting with Blinken. Lina abu Akleh said Blinken offered condolences and promised “transparency” and “better communication” with the family, but no concrete actions. “Nothing short of a U.S. investigation that leads to real accountability is acceptable, and we won’t stop until no other American or Palestinian family endures the same pain we have.” The Israeli military continues to occupy or hold sway over parts of the West Bank, where dozens of Palestinians have been killed this year, along with a smaller number of Israelis. “She was the voice of Palestine, the voice of truth, uncovering Israeli crimes,” Lina abu Akleh said.
