Blatant Murder”: Al Jazeera Preparing ICC “War Crimes” Case Against Israel for Killing Its Star Reporter Shireen Abu Akleh
The Al Jazeera Media Network announced Thursday (May 26) it will submit to the International Criminal Court a case file regarding the killing of its veteran reporter Shireen Abu Akleh.
Abu Akleh was shot dead on May 11 while covering a raid by Israeli forces on the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. She was wearing a helmet and a blue protective vest clearly marked “Press.”
Al Jazeera previously called the shooting “a blatant murder” that defies international law and warrants global condemnation.
The network said in its Thursday statement that it formed an international legal team preparing the murder case file for The Hague court.
The dossier, the statement says, will not be limited to Abu Akleh’s shooting but will additionally include the May 2021 “bombing and total destruction” by Israeli forces of the network’s office in Gaza “as well as the continuous incitements and attacks on its journalists operating in the occupied Palestinian territories.”
