❗️🇮🇱's military probe admits it is "highly probable" that an Israeli soldier shot to death journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, but won't take action against them. 🇨🇦 must demand an independent investigation to hold these murderers accountable! @melaniejoly @CanEmbIsrael @CanadaRepPA

@melaniejoly @CanEmbIsrael @CanadaRepPA Unfortunately, Israel's probe spreads misinformation by suggesting that Shireen may have been shot by 'accident', despite multiple independent probes which found no evidence of Palestinian militants in the area and said that the journalists were deliberately targeted by Israel.

@melaniejoly @CanEmbIsrael @CanadaRepPA From the start, multiple eyewitnesses, including several journalists, have insisted that Israeli forces were responsible for the attack, and that Abu Akleh had been deliberately targeted by Israel. These claims have been corroborated by multiple independent analyses.

@melaniejoly @CanEmbIsrael @CanadaRepPA In the hours following Abu Akleh's killing, Israel denied any responsibility & distributed disinformation to try to blame Palestinians for her death. This 'evidence' was immediately and widely debunked, and now even the Israeli military admits it 'most likely' killed her.

@melaniejoly @CanEmbIsrael @CanadaRepPA Israeli NGOs like @btselem have warned from the start that an independent and international investigation was necessary, as an Israeli military probe would only whitewash its own crimes. Israel's decision not to hold any of its soldiers accountable underscores this point.

@melaniejoly @CanEmbIsrael @CanadaRepPA @btselem 🇨🇦's @melaniejoly must insist upon an independent and international investigation into Shireen Abu Akleh’s assassination, so that the perpetrators can be held accountable. This must include offering Canada's support to an investigation by the International Criminal Court.
