WASHINGTON, July 29 — A group of lawmakers sought Thursday to force a US-led probe into the killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh after her family failed to win a commitment from President Joe Biden.
Blinken in the meeting Tuesday offered condolences and promised to seek “accountability,” but the family said he did not commit to their requests to launch a US-led investigation. In response, members of Congress — mostly from the left wing of Biden’s Democratic Party — said they were introducing a bill that would authorise an investigation backed by US intelligence.
He said he was also planning a broader bill that would require the US government to investigate any killing of US journalists overseas.Representative Marie Newman sharply criticised the State Department for not acting already.
