Today, Americans for Peace Now sent a letter signed by over 400 activists to Secretary of State Antony Blinken demanding that the administration fulfill its duty and conduct an independent and transparent investigation into the killing of Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu-Akleh, an American citizen covering the West Bank for Al-Jazeera TV. She was shot to death on May 11th in the town of Jenin during an Israeli military raid.
The letter reaffirms the need articulated by both President Biden and Secretary Blinken for a “full and transparent
accounting” and an “independent, credible investigation” and urges the administration to fulfill its obligation by
ensuring this occurs.
