Israel says it "will not cooperate" with probe into killing of Palestinian-American reporter

The United States has informed Israel that it plans to investigate the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh, the Palestinian-American Al Jazeera reporter who was killed during an IDF raid in the Jenin refugee camp in May this year.
Israel confirmed that the US Department of Justice has started an investigation into the killing.
In response, Defence Minister Benny Gantz said on Twitter that Israel "will not cooperate" with the US probe, calling it "a grave mistake".
"I made it clear to the American representatives that we stand behind the IDF soldiers, that we will not cooperate with any external investigation, and we will not allow interference in Israel's internal affairs," he said.

The pressure has been building. Biden has succumbed. He could have stayed in hiding if he'd lost the Senate.
