Incoming White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Wednesday that the US government condemns the killing of Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh, a US citizen who was fatally shot while covering an Israeli raid in the West Bank.Abu Akleh was wearing a blue bulletproof vest that said “PRESS” when she was hit by gunfire in the town of Jenin, south of Nazareth. An injured colleague claimed Israeli troops shot her in the face, but the Israeli government is blaming Palestinian militants.“We strongly condemn the killing of Al Jazeera journalist and American citizen Shireen Abu Akleh in Jenin today and we extend our deepest condolences to her family,” Jean-Pierre told reporters aboard Air Force One while en route to Chicago.
