Palestinians congregated to mourn a Shireen Abu Akleh in the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah on Thursday.

She received a state service.

Shireen Abu Akleh was assassinated Wednesday in Jenin in the West Bank.

She was shot even though she was visibly identifiable as a journalist.

Israel is calling for a joint investigation with the Palestinian Authority.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas angrily rejected that proposal, saying “we hold the Israeli occupation authorities fully responsible for killing her.”

“They cannot hide the truth with this crime,” Abbas said in an address as her body lay in state with a Palestinian flag draped over it in the West Bank city of Ramallah.

“They are the ones who committed the crime, and because we do not trust them, we will immediately go to the International Criminal Court,” Abbas said.

The ICC launched an investigation into possible Israeli war crimes over a year ago.

The Qatar-based Aljazeera accused Israel of deliberately killing her and vowed to take legal action.
