The relevant Palestinian prosecution authorities announced on Saturday (2/7) that they will allow US experts to conduct a ballistics examination on the bullet that struck the Palestinian-American correspondent of the Al-Jazira network, Shirin Abu Akle, two months ago, which resulted in her death during an Israeli military operation in the northern West Bank town of Jenin.
As the Palestinian Attorney General stressed to local media, the ballistics examination of the American experts will be carried out at the laboratories of the Palestinian investigative authorities based in Ramallah. It was announced that the Palestinian Authority's decision, made public today, was taken a week ago in advance of US President Joe Biden's upcoming visit to Israel and the Palestinian territories on July 13 and 14.
Last week the UN Human Rights Committee announced its findings on the circumstances of the journalist's death, blaming Israeli military forces who were in Jenin on the day of the incident. The Israeli side does not rule out that Abu-Akle's death was accidentally caused by Israeli fire, denies the version that the journalist was targeted by the soldiers and, finally, blames the Palestinian Authority, which, until now, did not accept the joint ballistics examination of the bullet with the participation of Palestinian, Israeli and American experts.
