7:05 am
she continued to tell the palestine story. stephanie decker, al jazeera in occupied east jerusalem. a managing director of out there as arabic channels at mad aaliyah fe, attended terean's funeral. here's what he had to say. i got jimmy, i got new to me. it's a catastrophe. all of us. it's painful. god willing, we will do e 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 our persistence to continue. our coverage. assistant eating serene 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 in covering the palestinian assure it proves our professionalism and the just nature of the palestinian issue. while the un security council is condemning the killing
7:06 am
of serene, that has not mentioned israel by name in a statement, it said it strongly condemned the killing of palestinian american journalist, sharon, i will ackley and that it conveyed at sympathy and deepest condolences to sharon's family. and also court for an immediate threat, transparent, fair, and impartial investigation into her killing, and reiterated that journalists should be protected as civilians. meanwhile, though the biden administration has given amused response to the killing of sharina barclay, our white house correspondent kennedy hawkins, has been 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 his really beliefs. a beating mourners were carrying this casket. he said we regret the intrusion. do you condemn his actions? i think when we said they were disturbing, we, obviously we're not,
7:07 am
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. ally 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 ukraine, nobody with investigation in point there. you know how 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 cable that you're 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 sharina killers to
7:08 am
account. this was the answer that the president would request to speak with. he is really government directly about 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, while an initial report by the israeli military says it's difficult to determine the exact source of gunfire which culturing, but it's not ruling out fault by israeli soldiers. according to israeli media, the military says its inquiry is looking at 2 scenarios. one that sharin was hit by
7:09 am
palestinians who find bullets towards israeli military vehicles. the 2nd that and israeli soldier returning fire inadvertently hit witnesses and the palestinian health ministry. se sharina was hit by israeli gunfire. while the emphasis is a law professor at queen's university, he says both assurance killing and the attack on her funeral are astounding to have knowledge of the fact that a journalist doing her job covering events unoccupied palestine for the past 2 decades. with gun down simply for that purpose, to stop her from reporting on the matter. that's one thing. it's quite another to see the response to the occupying power. it's police, it's authorities in occupied jerusalem and to, to do what they did during the funeral procession. to violently be civilians, paul bearers, who are simply just trying to bring in the body of the deceased,
7:10 am
the killed reporter to our final resting place. i. i was struck done by my at all. i'm served with the united nations in occupies palestine and lived in truce from for from over a decade. i'm very familiar with the area, look as an occupied territory, the occupying power. israel is not sovereign in that territory cannot as a matter of international law be sovereign and therefore it goes out of its way stops at nothing really, to ensure that any expressions of palestinian nationalism, national symbols including the flag are not present. certainly not in events that might emerge as this seemed to have been to be a demonstration in addition to a funeral of palestinian national fervor as an occupied territory. the occupied palestinian territory to use the un terminology,
7:11 am
the only people that are sovereign in that territory or at least have a right to sovereignty and territory are themselves the palestinian people. and therefore, israel will do nothing, will stop at nothing rather, to ensure that that doesn't happen. well, let's take a look back now at the extraordinary life of our friend and colleague and the legacy she leaves. the 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 insure it. her name has transcended even its own militarized checkpoints and borders reaching people the world over. ok, we were standing here, what i know, what nobody was born in 1971 sharina grew up under the harsh reality of an
7:12 am
illegal occupation that continues to strip millions of palestinians from their most basic rights. 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 mac university in 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's ok. the news that id as a relatively unknown 26 year old sharina joined al jazeera shortly after the channel launched the mean actually have off. what i did, i said he was she seen in this clip with jerusalem bureau chief,
7:13 am
a little almighty at the introduces her to the audience both unaware of the impact she would go on to have both in life and jala had this. trina barkley quickly became a household name through her coverage of the 2nd intifada. and the crimes committed by the israeli occupation during its invasion from la 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 beautiful university,
