On Twitter, he stressed the need for the international community to hold the occupation accountable for assassinating Abu Akleh. 

Earlier, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Lulwa Al-Khater said, via Twitter, that the "Israeli occupation killed Al Jazeera journalist Sherine Abu Aqleh by shooting her in the face while wearing the Press vest and a helmet.
