---- Title: Amir Tamim slams double standards in concerns over Shireen Abu Akleh killing ---- ... Qatar’s Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani has slammed double standards in addressing the killing of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. “We should not accept a world where governments have double standards about the value of people based on their region, race, or religion. We consider the value, of each European life to be just as precious as someone from our region,” the amir told 2022’s World Economic Forum _WEF_ in Davos on Monday. ---- Image Caption: The Qatari leader also addressed the unfair criticism his country has faced for hosting the World Cup. ---- ... Commenting on the killing of Abu Akleh by the Zionist state’s forces, Sheikh Tamim said her death is as horrific as the seven journalists killed in Ukraine since March and other places in the world. “[The] Palestinian-American journalist was killed two weeks ago in Palestine, and then robbed, of a dignified-burial. Shireen was covering the suffering, of the Palestinian people for decades, and our hearts, are broken,” said the amir. Abu Akleh was killed on 11 May while covering the Israeli occupation forces’ raid on Jenin. Despite clearly identifying as a member of the press with her flak jacket and helmet, an Israeli sniper shot her in the head. The precise spot where she was killed was not covered by the helmet, suggesting a deliberate targeting. Qatar had condemned the brutal killing of Abu Akleh and called for an investigation. Speaking about the ongoing suffering of Palestinians under occupation, Sheikh Tamim said Palestine remains an “open wound” that needs to be equally addressed by the world, similar to the way in which Ukraine has captured hearts around the globe. “Those families have been occupied for decades, with no relief in sight. The escalation, in illegal settlement aggression, has been relentless, and the same goes for the continual attacks against the Palestinian people,” said the amir, referring to Palestinians under Israeli occupation.
