U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the U.S. was „deeply troubled by the images of Israeli police intruding into the funeral procession of Palestinian American Shireen Abu Akleh,“ adding „every family deserves to lay their loved ones to rest in a dignified and unimpeded manner.“

Blinken‘s rebuke came shortly after U.S. President Joe Biden said „I don‘t know all the detail, but I know it has to be investigated“ when asked about Israeli forces‘ action at the funeral.
