WASHINGTON — The family of slain Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was in Washington on Tuesday to lobby officials for justice and a full accounting of the veteran reporter’s death during an Israeli military raid in May.
Abu Akleh’s uncle, niece and other relatives met for several hours with Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken and members of Congress, including Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., the powerful chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
The family said after the visit that it remained disappointed and frustrated.
