Biden Calls Activist's Death Accident in West Bank
News summary

President Joe Biden stated that the death of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a Turkish-American activist killed by Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) fire during a protest in the West Bank, appears to be accidental, with bullets reportedly ricocheting off the ground. While Biden described the incident as an accident, Secretary of State Antony Blinken condemned the shooting as 'unprovoked and unjustified,' calling for changes in Israeli military operations. Eygi, 26, was involved in protests against illegal Israeli settlements, and her death has sparked international outrage and demands for accountability. The IDF acknowledged the possibility of mistaken gunfire and expressed regret over the incident, while Turkey has condemned Israel for her death. The contrasting views from Biden and Blinken reflect ongoing tensions regarding U.S. support for Israel amidst concerns over civilian casualties in the occupied territories. Eygi's death is part of a troubling trend, with nearly 700 Palestinians reported killed by Israeli forces since October, highlighting the urgent need for a thorough investigation.
