After a months-long investigation, Zeteo is finally releasing what is undeniably one of our most important works yet, supported and funded by you: our exclusive documentary, “Who Killed Shireen?”
Watch the 40-minute film above, about Israel’s shocking killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in Jenin in 2022, and be one of the first people to see and hear the ground-breaking revelations from our award-winning team of journalists.
In this investigative documentary, Zeteo, for the first time, identifies the Israeli soldier who killed the famous reporter – a closely guarded secret up until now, as Israel had refused to divulge his name even to top American officials, according to our sources.
The documentary also reveals a shocking Biden administration cover-up, with former US officials divulging exclusive new information and telling us that the Biden administration “failed” Shireen in order to maintain its relationship with the Israeli government.
The film features exclusive interviews not just with former US officials but also former top Israeli officials and soldiers, as well as journalists who knew Shireen personally.
This is an eye-opening investigation that only Zeteo was prepared to fund and has only been possible because of the financial support of our paid subscribers. No corporations. No sponsors. Nothing else.
Paid subscribers to Zeteo can watch the full film above. Free subscribers can watch an 8-minute preview. If you would like to watch the full documentary, and support this type of journalism and the work we’re doing at Zeteo, please consider upgrading to a paid subscription. Your small contribution goes a long way toward supporting accountability journalism like this… the kind that other outlets are still afraid to take on.
