U.S. officials who closely examined the 2022 shooting death of Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in the occupied West Bank were deeply divided over the Biden administration’s public conclusions, with some officials convinced that her killing was intentional. That’s according to The New York Times, citing five current and former U.S. officials who worked on the case, including a career military policeman with 30 years’ experience. Speaking publicly for the first time, Colonel Steve Gabavics said the U.S. government had soft-pedaled his office’s findings to appease the Israeli government. He said he and his colleagues were left “flabbergasted” by the Biden State Department’s statement attributing Abu Akleh’s killing to “tragic circumstances.”
