Departing White House press secretary Jen Psaki condemned what she called “deeply disturbing” footage Friday of baton-wielding Israeli police charging into the funeral procession for American Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh.Israeli authorities said they rushed into the Jerusalem crowd — nearly causing Abu Akleh’s coffin to fall to the ground — after Palestinians threw rocks. The incident occurred just before a closed-door meeting at the White House between President Biden and Jordanian King Abdullah II.“We have all seen those images. They’re obviously deeply disturbing,” Psaki said at her final briefing before handing over the reins to incoming press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
