Pak Sahafat – Rashida Talib, a member of the US House of Representatives, said on Tuesday night that Israel had committed war crimes and that the assassination of Al Jazeera correspondent Shirin Abu Aqla was a dangerous act.
According to Pak Sahafat News Agency International group, in an exclusive interview with Qatar’s Al-Jazeera network, Talib said: “The United States must force this (regime) to respect human rights in order to help Israel.”
The US envoy added: We support the call for an investigation into the killing of Abu Aqeel, and the United States must itself investigate the death of this journalist to find out the truth.
She also said that 10 members of the US Congress did not mention their names, calling for an investigation into the killing of Abu Aqla.
Talib, meanwhile, said that the violent incidents that took place during Abu Aqla’s funeral were a horrific act and should not be allowed to happen again.
