FBI’s lack of progress on Israeli killing of journalist ‘troubling’: CPJ

The Committee to Protect Journalists has demanded a public progress update from US authorities on the FBI's investigation into the 2022 killing of Palestinian-American Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh by Israeli military forces in the West Bank. The CPJ stated that the investigation has made no concrete progress, with no formal witness interviews conducted despite witnesses' willingness to cooperate and no signs of FBI activity to gather evidence in Israel or Palestine. The CPJ is calling for a public update on the investigation status, a committed timeline, and public release of findings, while emphasizing that the lack of progress represents a failure by the US government to respond to the killing of one of its citizens by a foreign military.
