The Biden administration says it is shocked by Shireen Abu Akleh’s death, and wants an investigation. But they’re not going to launch their own, and they will presumably be skeptical of any outside human rights group that does. They have confidence in Israel to investigate itself, but it will take them months, possibly years, to develop a position on its findings. A special relationship indeed.
