The Biden administration quickly condemned Israel
“We were deeply troubled by the images of Israeli police intruding into the funeral procession of Palestinian American Shireen Abu Akleh,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated.” Every family deserves to lay their loved ones to rest in a dignified and unimpeded manner.”
Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the US Ambassador to the UN, stated: “Deeply distressed by the images from Shireen Abu Akleh’s funeral procession. The tragedy of her killing should be handled with the utmost respect, sobriety, and care.”
