Press conference with family of Shireen Abu Akleh

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) gives a visibly upset Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) a comforting hug after Tlaib spoke at a press conference with the family of slain Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. The Palestinian Authority accuses Israel of targeting Abu Akleh, but Israel denies responsibility. The US State Department said it believes Abu Akleh was killed unintentionally by Israeli Defense Forces. Her family continues to demand a meeting with President Joe Biden and an investigation by the FBI. (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)
