Abu Akleh, one of the satellite channel's best-known reporters, was shot and killed on Wednesday while covering an Israeli military raid in the occupied West Bank. The broadcaster and two reporters who were with her blamed Israeli forces for her death.
Israel's defence minister, Benny Gantz, promised a transparent investigation, and said he was in touch with U.S. and Palestinian officials.
