News summary

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris condemned the Israeli military's killing of American activist Aysenur Eygi, calling the incident 'unacceptable' and emphasizing the need for full accountability. Eygi was shot while participating in a protest against settlement expansion in the West Bank, and while Israel claims her death resulted from a tragic error, Biden and Harris are pressing for thorough investigations. Harris stated that no one should be killed for participating in peaceful protests and raised concerns about the conduct of Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) personnel. Eygi's family has called for an independent investigation into her death, which the U.S. has not fully endorsed, opting to await the Israeli findings. The IDF acknowledged responsibility for the incident but claimed it was an inadvertent consequence of targeting a key instigator during a riot. Both Biden and Harris have highlighted the need for changes in the Israeli military's rules of engagement to prevent such tragedies in the future.
