Lina, the cousin of the journalist who was killed in Jenin, told Al Jazeera that Blinken told the family that his duty was to protect US citizens. “Nothing short of an American investigation that leads to real accountability is acceptable, and we will not stop until no other American or Palestinian family You will not suffer the same pain we have,” she wrote.
She also addressed the family’s request for a meeting with the president Joe Biden and claimed that the case “is one of the priorities of this administration”. This, after the family requested a meeting with Biden during his visit to Israel.
As a reminder, at the beginning of this month the United States announced that it is not possible to determine with certainty who killed the Al Jazeera journalist in the Jenin refugee camp last May, but it is likely that the bullet was fired by IDF forces.
In the statement of the American Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was stated that the experts who examined the bullet that hit the journalist determined that she was seriously injured, and therefore they had difficulty reaching firm conclusions as to the source of the shooting.
