The Biden administration said Monday that Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was likely killed by unintentional Israeli fire, but the results of the ballistics test of the bullet removed from her body were inconclusive.
The big picture: The results of the ballistics test could have a negative effect on President Biden’s planned visit to the West Bank on July 15. The Palestinian Authority agreed to give the bullet to the U.S. expecting that the test would conclude Abu Akleh was shot by Israeli soldiers.
