    Shireen Abu Akleh's family accused "Israel" of evading responsibility

The family of Palestinian journalist Sherine Abu Akleh, on Monday, accused "Israel" of trying to "hide the truth and escape responsibility for killing the journalist," after an Israeli statement highlighting "the difficulty of determining who is responsible for the killing" of Shireen during the storming of the camp of Jenin in the West Bank of occupied Palestine, was released.

Abu Akleh's family issued a statement that considered "Israel's" statement "earlier today" to be "an attempt to obscure the truth and avoid responsibility for the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh."

The family confirmed that it "will continue to demand that the US government upholds its obligations towards one of its citizens (the martyr Shireen holds an American citizenship) and to hold the killers accountable, as well as to continue to call on members of Congress and civil society to continue to put pressure on US President Joe Biden, in order to conduct a comprehensive investigation which will turn to the International Criminal Court in this case."

Meanwhile, the Palestinian presidency confirmed that "the results of the investigations conducted by the occupation army are nothing but an attempt for "Israel" to evade the responsibility for the killing of the journalist."

The official spokesperson for the Palestinian presidency, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, said in a statement, "The Israeli report on the martyrdom of Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh is a new Israeli attempt to evade responsibility for her murder," because "all the evidence, facts, and investigations that were conducted prove that 'Israel' is the culprit, and that it must be held responsible."

The statement stressed that "the Palestinian leadership will continue to follow up the file of the martyrdom of Shireen Abu Akleh with all relevant international bodies, especially the International Criminal Court, in addition to all files that are being followed up in order to protect the rights of our people."

The Israeli attacks on journalists were not limited to one victim as Palestinian journalist Ali Samoudi was also wounded by a live bullet in his back; his condition is stable. 

Palestinian media reported heavy gunfire between resistance fighters and the occupation forces in the Jenin refugee camp, noting that many journalists were wounded by Israeli bullets while covering the occupation's incursion into the Jenin refugee camp.

Palestine's Attorney General Akram al-Khatib announced on May 26, that an Israeli soldier shot and hit Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, clarifying that the bullet hit her directly in the head.

During a press conference he held after presenting the results of the investigation to the chief of the Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas, al-Khatib explained that Abu Akleh was hit with an armor-piercing round.

He also added that the round that was fired on Abu Akleh appears to be from a semi-automatic sniper rifle, moreover, the investigative team has conclusive evidence that the targeting of Martyr Abu Akleh and the reporters that were with her was direct and deliberate.
