U.S. Calls for Investigation into Aysenur Eygi's Death

News summary

The U.S. State Department has called for a swift and transparent investigation by Israel into the fatal shooting of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a Turkish-American activist, during a protest against Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Eygi, 26, was reportedly shot in the head by Israeli soldiers while participating in a demonstration organized by the International Solidarity Movement (ISM). Witnesses have disputed the Israeli military's claim that they were responding to violent activities, stating Eygi was not involved in any aggression. The U.S. expects Israel to share its findings publicly, although Eygi's family is advocating for an independent investigation. The incident has drawn international attention, with Turkish officials, including President Erdogan, condemning the killing and calling for accountability. Eygi had recently graduated from the University of Washington and traveled to the West Bank to support Palestinian farmers.
