The Palestinian Authority on Monday rejected the results of the IDF investigation into the murder of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, and vowed to bring her case before the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The IDF report on the killing of Abu Akleh is “a new Israeli attempt to evade responsibility for her murder,” the PA said.
The PA was responding to the IDF investigation that found there was a high possibility that Abu Akleh was killed by an IDF soldier during a gunfight in Jenin back in May.
“All the evidence, facts and investigations that were conducted prove that Israel killed Shireen, and it must bear responsibility for its crime,” PA presidential spokesman Nabil Abu Rudaineh said.
The Palestinian leadership, Abu Rudaineh said, will continue to follow up the case of Abu Akleh with all relevant international bodies, especially the ICC.
“Israel will not be allowed to escape punishment for its ongoing crimes against the Palestinian people and their Islamic and Christian holy sites,” he added.
