Another Take: Will there ever be justice for Shireen Abu Akleh?

Every Saturday, we revisit a story that’s in the news again. This originally aired on May 11, 2023. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed.

In November 2022, six months after Shireen Abu Akleh was killed, the FBI launched an investigation, but until now, it’s unclear where the probe stands. So what happened to that investigation, and will there ever be justice for Shireen Abu Akleh’s killing?
