Qatar's deputy foreign minister condemned the killing of an Al Jazeera reporter by "Israeli occupation" in the West Bank on Wednesday and in a Twitter post called for an end to "state sponsored Israeli terrorism".
Qatar-based al Jazeera news channel said that Shireen Abu Akleh had been killed by Israeli forces while reporting on a raid in the city of Jenin, but the Israeli military said she may have been shot by Palestinians as they clashed with its troops.
