On May 11, 2022, Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Aqleh was reporting from the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank when an Israeli soldier shot and killed her.
The Israeli army - after long evasion - eventually admitted that it was "possible" that Shireen had been killed by its gunfire.
But Abu-Aqleh was also a US citizen, and her death has cast a sharp spotlight on the US's handling of her case.
And in the movie "Sherine... The Assassination of the Word" - which was broadcast on (12/23/2022) - Al-Jazeera spoke with witnesses from that day, and took questions to the White House and the State Department about whether the United States would investigate that crime.
The "film" also spoke to Sherine's family, who searched from the first moments for an answer or explanation for her daughter's death.
Journalist Ali Samoudi, Al-Jazeera photographer Majdi Bannoura, journalist Mujahid Al-Saadi, and journalist Shatha Hanaysha narrate the events that took place on the morning of the assassination of Sherine Abu Aqleh, and their accompanying her on that day, as the young Sharif speaks - who jumped off the wall to save Sherine, despite the occupation forces continuing to When he was shot, he managed to pull her out - about watching Sherine's eyes blink the last before she died.
Anton Abu Aqleh also talked about the first moments in which he heard the news of Sherine's injury and sent her a message to verify the authenticity of the news. He also called her phone repeatedly, but did not find any response from her, and at 7:04 am he saw urgent news on Al-Jazeera screen confirming Sherine's death, describing It's shocking.
The film reviewed the accounts of the Israeli occupation army related to the assassination of the Al-Jazeera correspondent, and how it changed with all international pressure on Israel, and the press investigations that confirmed Al-Jazeera's first narration that the Israeli occupation army was the one who killed Sherine.
The occupation army refused to respond to Al-Jazeera with the questions it submitted to it, and even the written questions it refused to answer, and contented itself with sending the final report that the army concluded.
American response
The US Secretary of State also refused to meet Al-Jazeera, and the State Department spokesman insisted on referring Al-Jazeera to the investigation announced by the US administration.
As for the White House spokesman, he was satisfied with his sympathy for the Abu Aqleh family and refused to respond to Al-Jazeera's questions about the investigation, which was based on the Israeli version without considering other evidence.
The film reviewed the results of the investigation reached by the United States, which were the same as the results of the investigation of the Israeli occupation, which led to the anger of the Abu Aqleh family, who described the results of the American administration as disappointing to them as American citizens.
