“The Biden administration and the Israeli government essentially were doing everything they could to cover up what happened that day to Shireen Abu Akleh,” said Dion Nissenbaum, executive producer of Who Killed Shireen? Nissenbaum added:

The initial U.S. assessment of her shooting was that that soldier intentionally shot her and that he could tell that she was wearing a blue flak jacket with “press” across it.
