ancient city. ah, but once the coffin made it inside granted more peace shooting. a bodily bro, the message of every palestinian ah, suffering god, brigades of life. not to be assassinated but to be nurtured. c c i blackly was shot dead in the occupied west bank. well, on an assignment in the jenin refugee camp, her funeral procession was joined by thousands of palestinians a show of the widespread affection and admiration she had earned through her years of putting in their lives law. trina, black, who was buried next to her parents at the mount zion cemetery. both her parents died in the early stages of her career and never knew how loved and respected she become. the crowds of gone, the family has gone. sharon's grave has now been sealed,

but even after her death she continued to tell the palestine story. stephanie decker al jazeera in occupied east. jerusalem of managing director of al jazeera as arabic channels augment. aaliyah fe attended sharon's funeral. here's what he had to say. i got jimmy, i gonna, jimmy. it's a catastrophe for all of us. it's painful, god willing, we will do all that. we can to hold those responsible accountable. she rings, blood will not go in vain. she rain was killed in cold blood before on all of us. this will only increase alf assistance to continue our coverage. assassinating sharamer is an attempt to kill the palestinian story on al jazeera, but they failed in achieving such a goal, killing serene will make al jazeera and the world more persistent and covering the palestinian issue. it proves our professionalism and the justice nature of the palestinian issue. while the un security council,

as condemning the killing of serene, that has not mentioned israel by name and a statement. it said it strongly condemned the killing of palestinian american journalist sharina. and that it conveyed its sympathy and deepest condolences to sri and family, and also call to an immediate foreign, transparent, fair, and impartial investigation into her killing and reiterated that john this should be protected as civilians. while meanwhile, the biden administration has given amused response to the killing of sharina. barclay. whitehouse correspondent, kimberly how could have as mourners, attending journalists, serene abu ack laced funeral were attacked by israeli security forces. white house press secretary gen saki, simply called it an intrusion, but refused to condemn the attacks called these images deeply disturbing of israeli police. a beating mourners we're carrying this casket so that we regret the intrusion, you condemn his actions. i think when we said they were disturbing, we,

obviously we're not, we're not justifying them, but i think i will leave my comments at what i said, go ahead. but her answers didn't sit well with reporters who pressed for an explanation as to why president biden is allowing israel a u. s. l i that receives billions annually and military funding to treat sharon's funeral and the investigation into her death, an american citizen. with such disrespect, american journalists, i can, in your green, nobody way for investigation. it's been point there. you know, houses, the russians. why is ready to get away with this? why not put in put an independent wiring fisma policy has not been destroyed is capable investigating itself. we understand that there are investigations by both sides. we've offered our assistance to the israelis, to the palestinians, and we are prepared to provide that. should they want it still when asked if president biden had even contacted sharon's family or if he would use his leverage

with the israelis to bring sharon's killers to account. this was the answer that the president would request to speak with. he is really government directly with the ongoing i don't have any cause to predict at this point in time. the president himself appeared a short time later, but had little to add. i don't know all the detail, but i know it has to be investigated. indeed, despite an american journalist being killed, president biden refused to condemn the attacks on mourners at her funeral. even as earlier in the day, president biden met with king abdullah of jordan in the oval office to discuss the escalation of violence between israelis and palestinians. in the region. now an esl report by the israeli military says it's difficult to determine the exact source of gunfire which killed serene, but it's not ruling out fault by israeli soldiers. according to israeli media,

the military says it's inquiries looking at 2 scenarios. one, that serene was hit by palestinians who fired bullets towards israeli military vehicles. the 2nd that an israeli soldier returning fire inadvertently hit at witnesses and the palestinian health ministry. se sharina was hit by israeli gunfire. well out there, a senior political analyst mar on the chart. says there's an israeli assassination unit, which has targeted palestinians for decades. for many of us, it is not just the question of who pulled the trigger. it's not even the question of what the trigger is. the caution will give the orders for those specialized forces in assassination dove to run this special israeli military unit like samson. they are specialized in assassination. they have acted in the dark for the past. 40 years. 35 years since 1987. they are formed to carry the sort of operations against palestinians, but as soon active,

especially in demonstrators and clearly or storm floors for that matter. and clearly it was in this particular context in janine where sharon was killed was assassinated by one of those assassination units. so it's those who are devising that the colonial policy goes into defense minister who are giving the orders to those young soldiers. you know, maybe this is because some of us are getting old, but i tell you, i looked at some of these soldiers. it was like they were not morn back then in 2002, when jeanine was then attacked, occupied, invaded, and dozens of better sinews were killed in that invasion of the refugee camp. and here you have a new generation of israeli soldiers getting the same atrocities, getting famous fascinations in this vicious cycle of violence that will not end without their leaders, their government taking a different course than the one they are doing now. well, let's take

a look back now at the extraordinary life of our friend and colleague and the legacy she leaves this state like funeral for a journalist who dedicated her life to the struggle for freedom i. trina barkley was killed by israeli soldiers on wednesday. but the veteran journalists legacy will live on the while she was alive. she was an icon in the arb speaking world and by murdering her israel has now insured her name, has transcended even its own militarized checkpoints and borders reaching people the world over. okay, we were standing here, what i know, what nobody was born in 1971. she really grew up under the harsh reality of an illegal occupation that continues to strip millions of palestinians from their most basic rights 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 in print journalism from the university and neighboring jordan. she began her professional career working for the united nations refugee agency on her way 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 meal actually and have off them. what i did, i said he was she seen in this clip with jerusalem bureau chief a little on monday at the introducing her to the audience both unaware of the impact she would go on to have both in life and yala had this. trina

barkley quickly became a household name to her coverage of the 2nd father 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 prisons, the more she reported the more israeli forces and settlers tried to silence her. but she never lost her composure, nor her determination. beyond palestine, should he 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 took journalism at b. c at 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 silenced voice must now be amplified by press. freedom advocates to bring her killers to justice. her body may be buried, but should be in a barclay's name shall live on cheering of all kinds of data. i'll put to laughter . still ahead here on out here to the noise, no ordinary journalist and no ordinary human being palestinian speak of serene as their voice against the israeli occupation. for him. more stories from her friends and colleagues class. the moment of truth will come. you grains foreign minister asked g 7 nations to take further action against moscow? ah,
