U.S.-Turkish Activist Eygi Killed in West Bank

Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old U.S. citizen and recent University of Washington graduate, was killed by Israeli forces during a protest against settlement expansion in the West Bank. Eygi's family and international organizations, including the United Nations and the U.S. government, are calling for an independent investigation into her death, stating that an Israeli probe is not sufficient. Witnesses and activists claim Eygi was shot in the head by an Israeli sniper while peacefully demonstrating, contradicting the Israeli military's assertion that she was involved in violent activities. The incident has sparked significant international condemnation, with Egypt and Turkey also condemning the killing. Eygi's family has urged President Biden and other U.S. officials to ensure accountability and justice for her death.
