The Palestinian Authority (PA) and Al Jazeera have blamed Israeli powers for killing Shireen Abu Akleh on May 11 when she was covering an Israeli activity in the West Bank city of Jenin. The broadcasting company said Thursday it would present a case to the International Criminal Court.
Israeli specialists have countered that Abu Akleh might have been killed by stray discharge from a Palestinian shooter or erroneously by an Israeli officer.
