Shireen Abu Akleh: US, EU condemn Israeli police attack during slain journalist’s funeral
Israel’s police chief on Saturday ordered an investigation into the actions of officers at the funeral of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, after they charged the procession and beat pallbearers, sparking global outrage.
The United States was "deeply troubled to see the images of Israeli police intruding into her funeral procession," Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Friday.
The European Union condemned what it said was "unnecessary force" used by the Israeli police.
