Protest Death Spurs US, Turkey Investigations

Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old Turkish-American activist, was fatally shot by Israeli forces during a protest against illegal settlements in the West Bank. Eyewitnesses and reports indicate that she posed no threat and was shot well after confrontations had subsided. Israel's military admitted to the likelihood of its troops' involvement but claimed it was an unintentional mistake. Her death has prompted calls for accountability from both the US and Turkish governments, with Turkey launching its own investigation and seeking international arrest warrants. Eygi's family and international observers have criticized Israel's account, demanding a transparent inquiry. The incident underscores ongoing tensions and violence in the region, with broader implications for Israeli-Palestinian relations and international responses.
