Reuters Chief Calls for Israel to Conduct ‘Swift, Thorough and Transparent Probe’ into Killing of Journalist

EXCERPT:

GALLONI: “Our newsroom is reporting out the details of what happened. And so I am reiterating my call to the Israeli authorities who have said they are investigating to conduct a swift, thorough and transparent probe into what happened.

By transparent, I mean an investigation with clear evidence and explanation. And I also reiterate my call to the Israeli Defense Forces for clarity regarding the terms of engagement in this conflict. I also asked Lebanon, which has said that it has gathered evidence on the attack and any other authority with information to provide it. And I urge all parties in this conflict to respect and work with all media to ensure the safety of journalists reporting in the region. Issam was an experienced, talented and passionate journalist who was much loved by his colleagues here at Reuters.”
