THREAD: After finally meeting with the Abu Akleh family today, @SecBlinken has yet to commit to holding a US investigation into the Israeli murder of their family member, Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.
The family has been pushing for the US to hold Israel accountable for killing Shireen for over two months. The Abu Akleh family has been clear that a transparent and thorough US investigation is the very first step towards accountability and justice for Shireen.
Though they met with @SecBlinken today, the Abu Akleh family is still waiting for meaningful action from the US and continuing to demand a meeting with @POTUS to ensure that achieving justice for Shireen is a priority.
Shireen was killed in cold blood, in violation of international law. The US has a duty to ensure those responsible are held accountable.
Until it agrees to conduct a transparent & independent investigation, the Biden admin is allowing Israel to kill a US citizen with impunity.

Despite their disappointment that the US has not committed to an investigation, the Abu Akleh family is still dedicated to doing everything they can to demand justice for Shireen in honor of her commitment to truth and justice. #JusticeForShireen
