analysis. on the day of a funeral is ready forces storm the procession and beat mourners, causing pole bears almost drop a coffin, members of the international community and condemned to kenning and their calling for an investigation. the police violence against mourners at sharon's funeral is cited as one of the reasons a member of parliament as quit israel's governing coalition. the resignation of palestinian israeli heater, who now we of the lobby leaves prime minister natalie bennett's coalition in a precarious position with only 59 of the 120 seats in the can asset while. but also said that police violence against worshippers on temple mount during ramadan was behind her decision. she said she could not continue to support a coalition that shamefully harnesses her community. u. s. defense secretary lloyd austin's met israel's defense minister, began sorta working breakfast, a correspondence, jamal. i shall asked the pentagon if the killing of american palestinian
2:05 am
journalists sharina barkley was raised. i want to talk about the me working breakfast between the secretary of defense and guns. the readout, didn't mention anything about the killing of punishment. american journalist sharing a bottler. obviously there was a lot of condemnation that's come from us for me because with regards to the killing of the journalist, it is highly likely that she was killed using an american weapon. considering the weapon are used by the israeli military. was this discussed in between the 2 during the meeting, and if indeed there was some sort of an investigation that established the u. s. weapon was used to kill an american journalist, ruled there be any reprimand or sanctioning from the u. s. with regards to this, what i can tell you is the subject did come up in the breakfast and the secretary welcomed israel's intent statement,
2:06 am
clear statement of intent to investigate this. he welcome that present. they will not be actually the chemistry thing. they will not investigate. they refuse to a government of israel. it's not for the israeli military, i believe it's in their ministry of interior and they have stated a clear and tend to investigate. and the secretary welcome that, that investigation. and obviously we look forward to seeing what the investigation finds out, but i'm not going to get ahead of it or speculate about what the outcomes might be one way or the other. but you don't think that there is a bit of room for concern considering it is israel. that is accused of killing the journalist. and if it was another country that said that killed an american journalist, maybe the u. s. wouldn't be so well coming to allowing for that country to investigate itself, let's say what's wrong or if i appreciate the chance, the opportunity here to get me to speculate about investigations that haven't been started it for events that hasn't happened yet. we welcome the fact that there will be an investigation. we've made clear. we want to see this investigation be thorough and transparent and complete. but i also don't think it serves anybody's
2:07 am
purpose to get ahead of it when it's ongoing and it hasn't, hasn't concluded. so let's see what the investigation comes, comes back and what it says. but it did come up in the conversation. us democratic congressman, older carson says the u. s. has a responsibility to make sure showing gets justice. she was an american citizen, constance offered a letter calling for the f. b i to launch its own investigation into killing. this is a press freedom issue. this is a human rights issue, and it must be a priority for our federal government to see answers and accountability, you know, requesting the u. s. investigation is absolutely the right thing to do for any american journalists killed in the line of duty, apparently by foreign governments soldiers. but it is absolutely critical to make this request now after the announcement that there won't be an investigation into this debt by the government officials where she was murdered. there are many people
2:08 am
who are, who are, who are calling on a deeper scrutiny as it relates to support for israel. israel has been a strategic partner in the united states. i think that when we send money, we have to make sure that folks are being held accountable. and you know, i think when we have an attack on the 4th, the state on the free press, we have to look more deeply. i think that none of us can be above reproach, or criticism or critique. and, you know, i think the lack of reverence that was shown for her life in an extreme level of disrespect toward her home country, the united states, as well as journalists across the world. quite frankly, who have risked their lives to bring us this important news. you know, it makes it even more important for our government to take on the task of investigating. sure rain needs justice. she deserves justice. every american killed
