Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz made the statement on Twitter, saying Israel has made it clear to the U.S. “that we won’t cooperate with any external investigation.”

Palestinian officials, Abu Akleh’s family and Al Jazeera accuse Israel of intentionally targeting and killing the 51-year-old journalist, a U.S. citizen who was wearing a helmet and a protective vest marked with the word “press” when she was shot last May in the occupied West Bank.

she hung out with combatants and put her life at risk. Every bullet has its billet. Out there in the wild middle east, you keep out of harm’s way rather than being the hero trying to get the news scoop.

The writing is on the wall. Biden’s base of “progressives” will do whatever the Left & the Arabist State Department commands. And Garland will follow his Master’s bidding. Israel should start sending investigators to the United States any time it’s citizens (whether Jewish or Arab) have any issues in the US.

Bunch of hooligans and chaleras at the US state department, inspired by this president and his administration. These Democrats are treating Israel just like they treat violent criminal thugs in crime-ridden cities across the USA. Always giving the benefit of the doubt to the known criminals with rap sheets a mile long, releasing them back on the street to do more harm and there by spitting in the face of their victims.

FBI , the corrupt gang with its false FISAs and burying Hunter Biden’s laptop is the inquisitor. This is what happens when criminals steal elections and install themselves as imposters.

She stepped in the line of fire and entered into grave danger.
As our gemara says while shliuchi mitzva eino nizikan, when its schiach hezika its different.

And as Trump noted its the American jews that hate Israel the most. They messed up yet again this elections by voting for the dems. When will they learn?
