RAMALLAH– Presidential spokesperson, Nabil Abu Rudainah, welcomed the decision of the US Department of Justice to open an investigation into the killing of veteran journalist, Shireen Abu Akleh.
The presidential spokesperson said this US decision is another proof to the lack of credibility in the narratives of the Israeli authorities regarding all cases of deliberate killings carried out by its forces against the Palestinian people.
He stressed the need to hold murderers accountable for their crimes and to not allow the Israeli authorities to persist on killing the Palestinian people.
He further deplored the reaction of the Israeli defense minister Benny Gantz to the US decision, affirming that the Israeli policy defies international law through its public disregard to UN and international resolutions, and its intransigence and refusal to abide by them.
