The loved ones of a Palestinian-American reporter killed while covering an Israeli raid in the occupied West Bank have lashed out at Joe Biden.

Relatives of Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh expressed “grief, outrage and (a) sense of betrayal”, accusing the US of trying to erase Israel’s responsibility for her death.
