A retired U.S. colonel who investigated the death of Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh has gone public to accuse the Biden administration of “inaction” and a possible “cover-up.” Steve Gabavics says the U.S. government soft-pedaled the finding that Israeli forces intentionally killed her to appease the Israeli government. He and his colleagues were left flabbergasted by the Biden State Department’s statement attributing Abu Akleh’s killing to “tragic circumstances” rather than formally assigning blame. “It all came down to, in my mind, not trying to anger the Israelis by holding them accountable for intentionally killing an American citizen,” Gabavics tells Democracy Now!
