"The news that Al Jazeera is taking the occupying state of Israel to the International Criminal Court (ICC) to ensure accountability for the murder of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who was shot by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank earlier this year, fills us with optimism that justice will be served," the Embassy notes.
However, he continues, "hours after the Al Jazeera network submitted the request to the Hague court on Tuesday, December 6, to investigate and prosecute those responsible for the murder of the Palestinian-American journalist, the US State Department said it rejects the move and expresses its opposition."
The Embassy of Palestine calls on "all media and all journalists who respect their profession to demand justice for their brilliant colleague who was targeted and killed in the line of duty. Journalists are not targets."
