al jazeera in occupied east jerusalem. while iran cornell correspond is also in the occupied east. jerusalem. and ron has been an extraordinary day with many dramatic scenes on you with that. see it talk us through how it all unfolded. well, as the huss came carrying sharina barclays, a casket came into geoff, a gate and towards the church where the funeral service was a jew to take place. extraordinary scenes happened a we saw a palestinian flag being raised and the back of the car is ready. soldiers is ready, police then went in and smashed that glass and took away that palestinian flag even in her death. she managed to highlight one aspect of living under israeli occupation. now the raising of the palestinian flag is illegal under israeli law, although it's very confusing. a judge in 2021 said that it wasn't legal for policies to raise their flag. however,

people are still being arrested for it was we were there today. at the scenes at the church, at least 4 people were arrested in front of us foot waving the flag. and then that as i say that window was smashed. sharina barclay actually managed to highlight that in her death is not sprites of living under occupation. then as the parade went up to the cemetery which was laid to rest, thousands of people walked with up all of these things, hail into in comparison, when faced with the scenes that we saw in the morning and in shake, draw at the hospital where she was being kept overnight in a morgue morn is wanted to take her by foot down to the church. spot 45 minute walk. they wanted to carry the casket on this older soldiers. so shoulders rather now as they came out of the hospital in the courtyard. israeli police forces managed to post themselves into the courtyard inside attacking the moon as the

casket actually fell down to the ground. now, as you say, emotions are running high. a lot of people still very angry about what happened today. this is bay tanina bay. tanina is where sharina block lay. it was a oh, this is where memorial service is being held up. and people are still very angry. oh, what happened to her? there's a lot of emotions running. i, as i say, you can bring it to cedar in the background. however, more importantly than any of that is the way sharina managed to stole reports even in that even her funeral was away of her showing what life is like under occupation . thank you for that among calmed efforts in occupied east jerusalem. let's take a look back now on the extraordinary life of a friend and colleague and the legacy that she leaves behind. i a

state like funeral for a journalist who dedicated her life to the struggle for freedom o sharina. barkley was killed by israeli soldiers on wednesday. beth's, the veteran journalists legacy will live on o. while she was alive, she was an icon herb speaking world. and by murdering her israel has now insure it . her name has transcended even its own militarized checkpoints and borders reaching people the world over. okay, we were standing here for another. nobody came to us over the i lived up. born in 1971. sharon grew up under the harsh reality of an illegal occupation. that's continues to strip millions of palestinians from their most basic rights o garden in which was her quest for freedom that drove her to eventually pursue a career in journalism. korean had initially studied civil engineering as per her parents wishes. but her determination to seek the truth to manifest her freedom

through journalism and to speak truth to power was too strong. she switched careers and eventually graduated with a degree and print journalism from the earlier mac university and neighboring jordan. she began her professional career working for the united nations refugee agency and before moving on to the voice of palestine. and then frances monte carlo radio station knows that it is that idea as a relatively unknown 26 year old sharina joined al jazeera shortly after the channel launched the mean actually have off name. what i did, i mean she seen in this clip with jerusalem bureau chief a little on monday at the introduces her to the audience, both unaware of the impact she would go on to have both in life and jada had this. trina barkley quickly became a household name to her coverage of the 2nd intifada. and the crimes committed by the israeli occupation during its invasion of romanella and surrounding cities in the early 2, thousands speaking calmly yet confidently. her distinctive voice relate stories

from the refugee comes in eager checkpoints, and even from inside israel's prisms, the more she reported the more israeli forces and subtler tried to silence her. but she never lost her composure, nor her determination. beyond palestine should be and also reported from cairo, london, new york, and other cities around the world. she wasn't just a mentor to young girls and boys who watched her on their screens. the veteran reporter also taught journalism at b. c. university empowering you through education and providing young people living under a brutal occupation with some hope that their voices will one day be heard should in dedicated her life to giving a voice to the voiceless. her silence voice must now be amplified by press. freedom advocates to bring her killers to justice. ah, her body may be buried, but surely in

a box. his name shall live on children of all kinds of. i'll put some al jazeera semi sedan went to the al jazeera bureau in ramallah, where all of sharon's colleagues were with her family. this is one of those moments in history. when you see a symbol become a legend, sharina barclay, a symbol of international press. freedom with also being merged into a legend in the narrative of palestinian search for their national freedom. let me get the camera my head around the would try and explain what i mean visually. that's the building should in used to work out of you can see her picture is up. there are a black black flags on that building morling her death. now files are camera man to pan over to what a screen left for you. you can see here in the main square in ramallah, not only sharon's picture, but below it. we've got black flags down there, marking the 1948 knack. we're all catastrophe. which palestinians see is the date

in which they, they lost their statehood. the black flags to day are merging together and it's for people here they seeing her killing as the latest in a series of sacrifices in their search for their national freedoms as well. we've been talking to people who have been watching the funeral procession very closely in shops in tv screens in their homes. and they say, well, we're not surprised. we've come to expect almost anything off for years of occupation, but they are disgusted and they're hurt. as one man told us, even in her death they won't let leave her alone. now, israeli officials of course say they were forced to intervene to keep public order . that's i can tell you that's not the way people here see it at all. one of those banners down there says stop the double standards. that's a theme you hear a lot from people when you talk to them. they say like ukrainians. we want our

freedom like ukrainians. we want to resist a life under occupation. we don't want that life. but why is there a double standard in how, what some of the world looks at our fight against occupation and our search for freedom or israel has carried out more raids in jeanine in the occupied west bank, where serene abruptly was killed. 11 people have been injured including 2 that were shot dozens have been killed during israeli operations in the cities since march. israel says its actions are response to palestinian attacks made at abraham has been back to the scene where serene was killed and she spoken to some of the last people who saw her and life. you might have seen the pictures where shitty has been shocked on the floor. this is the place. it became like a memorial site where people are coming, taking pictures. some here were telling us that they didn't cry when their closest

friends died when their siblings died. but they're here crying for shitty. she was here in the genie and refugee camp trying to tell the story that she started telling more than 25 years ago. people still remember when the is wouldn't be israeli forces re, did that. you need refugee camp in the year, 2002. she was here. she spoke to people. they remember her. they're saying that they don't believe that these really armies investigation is going to lead to any justice. the palestinian president has said that he believes that they are criminals, the israelis. so people here want an international investigation. they want the world to know what's happening to palestinians and to journalists who are telling the stories of palestinians to the world. oh, god, i had to stop it maybe wouldn't missionary would at the end. this is the life of

journalists. we feel we have a moral and professional duty to be present and cover the advance analyst at what it's hearing and i'm sheet. i know she'd been home. i am the one who greeted her. i'm the one who walked with sharina to the location, but in the last thing she read said the poem, ollie was hit. so hoffer, yeah. what about alyssa? we grew up watching, sharing and experience journalist, and we're proud of her either if i could, or in whom i scuttle. if they think they can silence us, we tell them we are all shearing a barclay. the huddled with the palestinians of mark the bullets that were shot. 123. we believe the 4th hit shooting in the head. it was hard for us to come here to jenny. it was hard to tell . families and friends were going to a place with our colleague, our friend, a beautiful soul has lost her life. but if you follow al jazeera,

if you knew the kind of journalism we do, we know, and you'll know that we won't be silence. we'll keep telling the story. this is also what shitty would want us to do while does there as reacted to the israeli forces attack on mourners at sharina, barclays funeral, saying that it violates all norms and international laws. the network also said that it holds these riley government fully responsible for the safety and security of all the mourners and sharina family. it also said the violence will not deter it from reporting the truth through factual, accurate, objective coverage. let's bring it out. is there a senior political analyst, mom, bashar, who is in london for us? moran reaction is now starting to come through from the international community. reacting to those shocking images of screens,

coffin nearly falling to the ground as the morn is carrying it were beaten by railey soldiers. the white house has described the footage of the funeral of out as their reporter. and i quite hear disturbing off to what we have seen today. do you think the world is paying attention and that they will now be some accountability for today and for sharina death? this are her similar statement from the french embassy in jerusalem considering this was the french hospital courtyard. and we've heard that, as you said, from washington, what to say, so disturbing or something that i would say i'm are, i'm common thing on what you're seeing. and i could say that a government cannot just stays disturbing. and, or whether it's french government, herancha, american government, saying it's disturbing. gotta know that any observers view,

what will you do about it? that's that question. i mean, we all know it's disturbing. come in, can't. does that? does anyone with any, any brain think this is not disturbing? do we need a statement from washington to know that this is disturbing? but what are they going to do about? that's the question, because it is ongoing, as you and i have spoken. i mean, it's one thing after another, the assassinate her, the raid and invade again and again a refugee camp. then they arrayed her house in the afternoon after assassinating her vendor, violate the dignity of her funeral, attacking peaceful, more nurse in a courtyard of a hospital. what are they going to do about it? i think in the court of international public opinion, israel has last big guy,

big guy. i mean, i wish that should he did not have to pay with her life in order for his earth to once again lose and did them in the court over public opinion. but it is and it has . but once again, what would washing that impacts do about it? because they have the capacity to do a lot. i mean, they are capable of crippling, paralyzing a superpower like russia. they certainly can do something about israel, even in the most friendly of ways. connie tough love, but they must do something about israel because of they don't. this, impunity only encourages or to kill more journalists at that more funerals. insult the dignity of more people, hence leading to more of a saying have you been surprised by the strengths a feeling that we have seen today?

actually, i'm not. i'm pleasantly so i can't be, i can't believe i'm used to work pleasantly. i am not surprised. i mean, in the sense that we know that sharin and her colleagues were entrusted with entry into the homes of countless palestinians, countless arabs. you don't allow someone to come in to your home in the early morning hours in the late evening hours to talk to you again and again, day after day, year after year. if you're not interested the palestinians have thrusted sure. in the thrust of her colleagues to share a report express underlying their sufferings, their emotions, their very lives that very systematic and structural violence. they face every day

. so they trusted her, she are not them. and i think there are learning her back. i think that's to be expected. many thanks for that out, is there a senior political analyst, myron bashar there for us? i'm london or the mother of serene barclay is the latest and a long history of killings of civilians in the occupied territories. and i'm seen to national report earlier this year showed successive israeli governments have treated palestinians as a demographic threat. same as robbie has ah, when tracing crimes. israel's military has committed against palestinians. it can be difficult to know where to begin. ha, a timeline of subjugation that began in 1948 the atrocities. numerous, the suffering on go home. demolitions and force displacement

have become routine. ah, endless checkpoints to restrict and control movement. were palestinians routinely experienced abuse and humiliation. ha dehumanization that pales in comparison, only to the massacres perpetrated time after time. oh, palestinian american journalist sharina blacklist targeted killing is only the latest in a long history of civilian deaths at the hands of israeli occupiers, shedding our barclays blood is just as much on the hands of the united states and the european union and great britain and others a canada as well, who are stand in the way of accountability and arm and support the israeli occupation that murdered sharina barclay as it murders palestinians

almost daily. ah, no, not the number of palestinian civilians caught in his really cross hairs. seems endless. but some cases stand out in september of 2012 year old muhammad altura was shot and killed in gaza. video of his father jamal, trying to shield his son from israeli bullets, became one of the most powerful images of the 2nd and the father. a little bit in 2017 in israeli sniper shot and killed it. but a him a both. what are you doing? protests against the u. s. move to name jerusalem. as israel's capital. the wheelchair bound activists lost both his legs in an israeli air rate in 2008 in 2018 is really forces killed palestinian nurse rose on, on the jar as she tried to help a wounded protester. she became one of the more than 100 people killed during

demonstrations against the grinding is really blockade of casa successive generations of palestinian leaders half turned to the international community for help. but decades of appeals have not slowed the pace of israeli abuses. what is your message going to be till israel? what is the united states message to israel regarding the situation and resume our, our message? and the ambassador gave that mash message very strongly to everyone is that this has to be investigated. i'd has to be investigated transparently, and we're encouraging both sides to participate in that investigation so that we can get down to the ah, to why this happened. our highest priority is to protection of american citizens and the protection of journalists. it is so important that journalists be allowed to do their jobs without fear. and so our message again is less get to the bottom of this lesson. sure, this never happens again. huh. despite the public rhetoric,

the u. s. government, israel's main ally continues to send billions of dollars and military aid to israel emboldening what rights groups described as an apartheid state with devastating consequences for generations of palestinians. zane basra v o $20.00 or international palestinian media groups last month submitted a formal complaint to the international criminal court, accusing israel of war crimes against john this the committee to protect journalist says that $24.00 jonas and that's not including sharina black. they have been killed in israel and occupied palestine since 1992 on the press freedom advocates have reported even higher numbers. israel systematically targets jonas including al jazeera in 2010. it detained several and bought a human humanitarian flotilla, which was heading to gaza. last year, israel bomb de building with media f, as in offices, including al jazeera and the associated press in the occupied gaza strip valley. a

month later, israeli forces arrested al jazeera journalist to rob with dairy, as she coveted demonstration in the shape to ra, neighborhood of occupied east jerusalem. there was morano ocampo is a former 1st prosecutor at the international criminal court. he says the palestinian authority should be able to take israel to the i. c. c. we need justice and we need these people demanding justice. and then i would like to help javion justice here on. but a son has to litigation, is it. but if he's right person could meet the crime, palestine legally cannot do it. therefore, who could do it? could be international going to court, who israel called or because she was american to be the us. so the issue is, but i had to do a great investigation that going today and didn't have to request

a good bit to get your means. and if and exactly what happened and you know, just about the bullet. look, a group like it for him to get a good picture in london. do incredibly good analysis on, on the trash it who should from where that's the important israel. prime minister. promise an investigation. ok. what this all is the same. what happened or that with the soul? yes. so what is right, reaction. so we need to go back. it's very thorough investigation and then has that a possibility, but i just it will help putting together all the food touch for the or you think you're gonna degrade the food that we can do more and people have to them. and just this is not just this would be revaluation in peers, he means more violence in pallets and dr. luna black layer serene law says well she's trying to remain optimistic about accountability. she fears that

will be non i was expecting something would happen even though they had said everything will go smoothly, but i didn't trust it. i knew they were not going to let this day go by peacefully . i was on the frontline when we were trying to exit the hospital while they were carrying the casket and true they were, they just stormed and they were beating up everyone. it was very frightening to be on that because this is a funeral. this is a peaceful funeral. everyone was there to pay their respects. everyone was there or there to is to show their support and love. and at the end of the day, even in her, she was with the day close to the funeral was by then i really will just to serve. i really hope that official diploma and

high dignitaries aren't just saying, i'm just condemning get there. i'm just saying, i'm just, it's not just words, i whole words become action and i hope that we move into a process where we actually she being is actually in the just this year i'm trying to be will quote that his tragedy will actually bring in accountability but i also am afraid that this will be a precedent for other for other moments where journalists are killed and nothing is still. i think it's west of this point to take a look back at the events leading up to sharon's death. she was shot dead by israeli forces on the 11th of may wednesday, as she was covering raids in janine and the occupied westbank hours lay said this

roy, the government began circulating video on social media, is suggesting that sharin was likely shot by a palestinian fighter. well, that claim was later discounted by human rights organization, but still em through video analysis. on thursday, the palestinian president latuda bass rejected a proposal for a joint investigation into a death with his ro. instead he pledged to take the case to the international criminal court. serene spotty was then taken from ramallah to jerusalem at times the processions reignite to the tensions between palestinians and israeli police. and then today outrage fled this time in occupied east jerusalem. when israeli forces beat crowds of mourners carrying sharina coffin ahead of her funeral. well, white house, the white house press secretary, jennifer, saki has said today that she was disturbed off to seeing pictures of the violent attack on sharon's funeral procession. i would say 1st that we have all seen those

images. they're obviously deeply disturbing. we. this is a day where we should all be marking, including everyone there, the memory of a remarkable journalist who lost her life on. we know that there is a, with a disturbing footage from the funeral procession procession today in jerusalem. we regret the intrusion to what should have been a peaceful procession. we've earned respect for the funeral procession, the mourners and the family at the sensitive time. we're also in close touch with israeli and palestinian authorities has been and obviously will continue to be especially given the images we've seen today. we're not currently involved in any the investigation, but we are working to bridge cooperation and available to provide assistance was needed as talk to a white house correspondent kennedy hall, who was listening into that news conference. what else did jen psyche have to say it wasn't just listening,

it actually was in the press conference and i can tell you that there was a lot of head scratching by a lot of the reporters in that room about some of those questions and, and, and the answers that were provided because you have to remember that sri is an american citizen. and so there is a little bit of sort of a lot of people to perplex as to why the u. s. president is not using his leverage with the israelis to essentially rein in some of this behavior on behalf of an american citizen. you have to remember that the u. s. gives israel and he nervous amount of security support not to mention economic support to the tune of billions of dollars every year. and the white house press secretary was asked repeatedly by a number of journalists, whether or not the president had called the israeli government. the answer was know whether or not he had the president had called sharon family. the answer was no. in

fact, it was no national security officials had been in touch and the questions were asked about whether or not the president would condemn or whether the white house press secretary would condemn the actions that were taken on the mourners in that funeral procession that we've seen today she said instead that she would only let the comments she had already used. in other words, calling this deeply disturbing to stand. and i think that many americans were pretty shocked and many reporters were pretty shocked to hear the press. secretary say that because the, the bottom line is, is that we've heard the white house use very strong statements when it comes to the issue of a reporter being killed, an american reporter being killed when it comes to russia's actions it against the media being killed in crane of the war and ukraine,

but suddenly when it comes to the issue of assuring outlet being killed and potentially at the hands of the israeli forces and the white house press, secretary was careful to underscore that investigation is still ongoing. that there was a reluctance on the part of the press secretary to condemn those actions. and it's very notable and the press corps repeatedly press the white house press secretary, but she refused to condemn those actions. and this is something that i think is only going to get more questions as time goes on. and that's something that i noticed in that briefing. in fact, one reporter said, how can these rallies get away? with this, she was wearing a press helmet or press flak jacket, she was wearing a helmet and she was shot in the net. and simply the white house press secretary

would say we have offered assistance and there has been no request for assistance so far. so in terms of how to resolve this, another reporter asked the way as press secretary would only say that is the position of the u. s. government. that the only way to resolve this escalation of violence is the u. s. position that there, that a 2 state solution is the only viable option for resolving the differences between israelis and palestinians. kimberly hawk at a white house correspondent, the palestine and busta to the united nations, spoke about the continued violence against the palestinians. daily's, assassination of sharing as part of its longstanding, well documented war of harassment, intimidation and violence against palestine and journalists. this has been happening for decades and in broad daylight. we are shocked by the great loss. sharina barkley was a tell britain thrill blazing jordan as

a vibrant spirit and a kind hearted and humble human being. qualities that the occupation forces that killed her, couldn't care, less about the humanity they refused to see or the united nations today has condemned the israel forces attack on serene abu atlas funeral procession saying more information was needed on what happened and why? well we, we've just seen no the, the video coming from this and it's, and it's very shocking to us. ah, obviously we'll try to gather more information about exactly what's happened here. ah, it clearly i, as in all cases, we want to make sure that the basic right to freedom of assembly and, and of course, the right to freedom of peaceful demonstrations are, are protected and upheld. while the un security council is expected to issue

a statement condemning sharon's killing kristen fleming is at the united nations headquarters in new york for us with more on this. what exactly are we expecting? well i can tell you that we've been receiving an outpouring of expressions of sympathy, shock, horror from you and officials, ambassadors press colleagues in every day. there have been questions raised in the regularly scheduled daily briefing to the secretary general's folks. person, the secretary general on other un officials were quick to condemn her killing. they have called for an independent impartial investigation. but when pressed on what kind of an investigation, what would constitute an independent investigation? that's where things begin to get

a bit fuzzy. palestinians have made it clear that they do not trust the israelis to investigate what happened here. and they want the international criminal court to do so. they have been pushing for that and they don't trust the israelis, but clearly it will take international pressure for that. something like that to happen. so there's a lot of dismay, a lot of concern and a lot of focus, but so far are not a lot of specifics and on how to deal with this. we are now hearing, however, from source is here that the security council is in fact considering ace press statement. now this is a statement that would have to be agreed by all of the council members in would be read or delivered by the president of the security council right now. the united states holds the presidency of the security council. the draft statement that we

have seen condemns the killing again. it emphasizes the importance of a free, preston, protection of journalists and dangerous situations. and it calls for an investigation, and the words that we have seen are an immediate, thorough, transparent, and impartial investigation. i should point out that this at this stage is a draft. this is something that we are told is being discussed among council members. some amendments have been suggested so we don't know if it will happen and if it happens, if it will look like this or of changes will be made. but clearly there is an effort underway and pressure in the security council to respond to this in some way . again, the issue is what will constitute that independent investigation? and will it be enough to satisfy both the israelis and the palestinians going forward and where will the united states fall in this as their support would be

seen as crucial? kristen salumi at the united nations headquarters in york. thank you. the psalms on lance is the palestine ambassador to the united kingdom. he shared his thoughts about sharing a shilling was an icon, really an icon, a celebrity, if you made. and that's why you saw what you saw. i really wanted for the last 48 hours just to be by her grave. attend this moment of sadness and grief, but the pride of celebration for what she has done. remember, remember, she has made reports all of us, all of her life. i both have people, but by her medical them, she made history. and today she witnessed angeles and she made this to yesterday, and she made this to be the day before. and she didn't notice. she has galvanized a nation and perhaps the freedom loving people. world war is the story of funny story for 74 years. on the one hand, a loving people, a great people,

rooted deep and stubborn people. people who are united, united by purpose, united by this to the united, by love, love for each other on the one hand and on the other hand is the ugliness, ugliness, the pity of the occupational occupation forces. not only the mother engineer, but the right to spin it. i'm to cover up by lies. and then when she arrived to head home down the attack to a funeral, the attack, the mourners. this is the occupation worked well for many palestinians serene and her reports meant something profound. they watched a palestinian woman, a pioneer of her generation, telling the story isn't rising. the 1st draft of their history for the wild was no ordinary analyst, no ordinary human being to as a close friend. and she was reported who were trying to do to have profession.

but more importantly to her dad did sitting that boggling lights really and our entire childhood echo of her voice specially on especially at a time where nobody covered the day and default on the grades on palestinian villages and the fire, the brute violence. one of the things that was really incredible about those who knew her was that should be covered all aspect palestinian life. she didn't just cover the issue of gas or the issue of it's really rain or it is really work. she actually also enjoyed covering what it was like to be she with an incredible mentor of mine. i would probably say all of the journals that i work with there on the ground, and there are a lot. she was perhaps the one that took me under her wing the most me the lay of

the land, tommy as much as i could possibly learn about the region and what was happening again. but she also had an incredible compassionate type there. i think if you look at every single picture that has been shared around the world of her, she's always smiling because she had the biggest heart. she was the kindest person . and yet she hi, miss determination and understood with such clarity. and the purpose in which she work at my colleague nick clark spoke to simon cory, a priest who took part in the funeral service. he says, serene voice will be heard around the world. i want to tell you that nobody can compare the palestinian case with any other violence in the war or on the other work. because any nation does it work the they still have their identity. there is a

senior case, the most in brooklyn with any other war in the all because i know you need to go because you're going to take part in conducting the service in a 2nd. can anything good come out of your holding terrible tragedy? could there be a force for change in any way? i think sharing and she had influence, but you're in under the lunch, you will have menu. i hope it's the one that she was before. if someone imagine that i would stop, no, no, i will have a look. we believe we don't, i love all the follow. we believe in the board of love. we don't believe in the and number, and we don't believe in the lot of them. and we believe in god we believe in love, we believe in peace. we are people of peace. and we hope that the people that the
