Muslim World Largely Refrains from Blaming Israel for Al Jazeera Journalist's Killing
(Times of Israel) Lazar Berman - As Israel comes under harsh criticism in the West over the death of veteran Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, the response in much of the Muslim world has been relatively muted. Israel's Gulf partners issued muted responses, as did Turkey. "The media coverage is relatively calm," said Moshe Albo, modern Middle East historian at the Institute for Policy and Strategy at Reichman University in Herzliya. "It's not over the top. Same in Egypt." Saudi coverage has been similarly muted, said Albo. Jordan also chose not to specifically blame Israel.
