Diaspora Minister Nachman Shai said today (Thursday) that Israel's credibility is "not the highest" in cases such as the killing of Al Jazeera journalist Sheerin Abu Aqla, last night in Jenin.

Minister Shai referred to the American demand to investigate the death of Abu Akala and said that "for them there will be a full, transparent investigation and definitely with non-Israeli accompaniment. They will not be willing to accept results that are not based on independent factors."

"Now we need to go to the investigation, offer the Palestinians a joint team accompanied by a recognized and accepted international factor on both sides, which will add both the professional dimension and the fact that he or she is independent and unrelated to one of the parties.
" Hussein al-Sheikh, who said they refused Israel's request for a joint investigation: "Their body, the bullet and their findings, so it is very difficult to conduct an air investigation if you can not see the body itself." Sheikh. "I think that every death is something that should be expressed sorrow for and as far as it is concerned a person who is by all accounts uninvolved and does not directly concern the matter."
"Every death is something to be regretted."
