Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old American-Turkish activist, was killed by Israeli forces during a protest against illegal settlements in the West Bank on September 6. Her funeral took place in Didim, Turkey, where hundreds of mourners gathered to demand justice, with calls for an independent investigation into her death. Eygi's family criticized the U.S. response to her killing, alleging that the government has not adequately supported them, while Israeli military officials stated that her death was likely unintentional. Concurrently, Israeli airstrikes on Gaza resulted in at least 14 fatalities, intensifying the ongoing conflict. President Biden condemned the incident, calling for accountability, but the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of an independent inquiry. Eygi, a recent graduate of the University of Washington, had been actively involved in pro-Palestinian efforts, reminiscent of other activists harmed in similar contexts.
