The article discusses the alarming fate of Palestinian journalists, revealing that the recent documentary 'Who Killed Shireen?' sheds light on the killing of Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh by an Israeli soldier three years ago. The film claims to identify the soldier responsible and expresses the need for accountability from the Israeli military leadership. Family members of Abu Akleh, alongside key figures involved in the documentary, criticized both the Israeli government and the Biden administration for attempting to obscure the truth behind her death. Recent trends show a significant increase in violence against journalists in Gaza.
"The Biden administration and the Israeli government essentially were doing everything they could to cover up what happened that day to Shireen Abu Akleh," says Nissenbaum, who is also the correspondent in the documentary.
"We've always known that it was an Israeli soldier who killed Shireen," says Lina Abu Akleh, who says the "entire chain of command" must be held accountable, including elected officials.
