Ramallah/Birzeit, 11 May 2022 :The Institute for Palestine Studies and the Palestinian Museum announce the postponement of the launch event of the Interactive Encyclopedia of the Palestine Question, which was scheduled to be held on 12 May, due to the assassination of the renowned journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, Wednesday morning, 11 May 2022, by Israeli Occupation Forces while covering an Israeli raid in Jenin refugee camp.
The two institutions mourn with great sadness and sorrow the death of Abu Akleh, who was one of the first field correspondents for Al Jazeera in Palestine. Her career spanned 25 years, and many grew up watching her on TV as she reported the truth about what was happening in Palestine and exposed Israeli crimes against the Palestinians.
