US Lawmakers Call for Independent Investigation into Israeli Attack on Journalists
A group of US lawmakers, including Vermont Sens. Bernie Sanders and Peter Welch, are urging President Joe Biden to authorize an independent investigation into a targeted Israeli attack on a group of journalists. The attack, which took place on October 13, 2023, resulted in the death of one journalist and injuries to six others, including American journalist Dylan Collins.
The lawmakers are calling for accountability and transparency in the investigation, as they believe the Netanyahu government has failed to take appropriate action. They argue that the US government must step in to ensure justice for its citizens who were affected by the attack.
The State Department has acknowledged the incident and promised to engage with Israeli officials to seek answers, but the lawmakers find this response inadequate. They are demanding an impartial investigation led by the Department of Justice to uncover the truth behind the attack.
It is crucial for the US government to take action and hold those responsible for the attack accountable. The safety and well-being of journalists must be protected, and justice must be served.
