US Whistleblower Reveals Biden Administration's Cover-Up of Israel's Killing of Al Jazeera Journalist
A disturbing case of diplomatic immunity has been exposed by a US whistleblower, who alleges that the Biden administration deliberately downplayed the killing of an Al Jazeera journalist by Israeli forces. Steve Gabavics, a former colonel turned whistleblower, spoke out about his investigation into the 2022 shooting of Shireen Abu Akleh, claiming she was fired at 16 times while wearing a blue vest marked "press".
Gabavics' findings suggest that Israel intentionally targeted Abu Akleh, but the State Department labelled her killing as an accident in order to avoid provoking the Israeli government. This move has been widely criticized, with many arguing that it constitutes a betrayal of Abu Akleh's memory and undermines the principles of press freedom.
The case highlights a pattern of impunity for American citizens killed by the Israeli military, with Gabavics claiming that several victims have been left without any action taken against Israel. The whistleblower's revelations raise serious questions about the Biden administration's commitment to upholding human rights and promoting democracy in the region.
Gabavics' testimony comes as part of an investigation into Abu Akleh's killing, which has sparked widespread outrage and calls for accountability from both within and outside the US government. As the full extent of Israel's involvement becomes clearer, it remains to be seen how the Biden administration will respond to these allegations and whether it will take concrete steps to hold Israel accountable for its actions.
The case serves as a stark reminder of the complex and often fraught relationship between the US and Israel, with implications that extend far beyond the corridors of power in Washington.
