Biden Whistleblower: U.S. Covered Up Israel’s Killing of Shireen Abu Akleh

Quick Overview

Retired US Army Colonel Steve Gabavics confirms that his investigation, detailed in the Zeteo documentary "Who Killed Shireen?", concluded that the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh was an intentional act by an Israeli soldier, Alan Skadgio, and that the US government mishandled the cover-up, failing to pressure Israel for accountability or cut aid despite knowing the facts.

Key Points: Gabavics' investigation, documented in "Who Killed Shireen?", found that Israeli soldier Alan Skadgio intentionally killed Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in May 2022. Gabavics asserts that the US government, including the Biden administration, mishandled the situation by failing to publicly press Israel for accountability or stop military aid. The investigation team, including an anonymous source and a former military police senior investigator/homicide detective, gathered evidence like ballistics and optical components to determine the shooter's line of sight. Gabavics notes that the Israeli military (IDF) provided an initial story that differed from the findings and that Israeli officials, including former PM Naftali Bennett, denied raising the issue with the US. The political climate, exacerbated by the fighting in Gaza since October 7th, has led to a more anti-Israel public opinion in the US, which Gabavics believes creates an opportunity for accountability. Gabavics, a 30-year military police officer, states his assessment concluded the killing was intentional, exceeding the standard of 'beyond a reasonable doubt' in a criminal court.
