Israel’s military says it is still investigating the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh, a veteran Palestinian American correspondent. But few Palestinians are holding their breath that they will see justice served.
But few Palestinians are holding their breath that theyIn interviews across Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank, many Palestinians said they are skeptical that the, or IDF, would fully investigate the May 11 death or hold its own troops accountable if warranted.
Israeli military investigations into the deaths of Palestinians often drag on for months, or sometimes years, without reaching firm conclusions or leading to prosecutions., an Israeli human rights group, found that of 273 complaints filed in 2019 and 2020 against Israeli troops for violence against Palestinians or damage to their property, only four led to indictments of soldiers.
“The IDF does not deliberately fire at civilians or journalists. Moreover, the use of live fire is done after all other options have been exhausted and in accordance with the standard operating procedures that comply with the rules of international law and the IDF values,” the IDF said. “These Israeli investigations are methods of whitewashing,” said Dalia Hatuqa, a journalist close to Abu Abkleh. “It’s fair for any journalist and for any Palestinian to believe that there will be no investigation, there will be no justice, and there will be no accountability for Shireen.”
