News summary

President Joe Biden condemned the fatal shooting of Turkish-American activist Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi by Israeli forces during a protest in the West Bank, describing it as 'totally unacceptable' and calling for 'full accountability.' Eygi's family criticized Biden for failing to contact them directly and for not endorsing their demand for an independent investigation, with her partner asserting that Eygi was deliberately shot, contradicting Biden's characterization of the incident as an accident. The Israeli Defense Forces acknowledged responsibility, suggesting Eygi was unintentionally hit during a riot suppression effort. Eygi, a dual citizen, was involved in pro-Palestinian activism and was shot while allegedly peacefully observing the protest. Her family has rejected the findings of Israel's preliminary investigation as inadequate and offensive, insisting on accountability and thorough investigation by the U.S. government. The disparity in responses to Israeli and Palestinian casualties has drawn further scrutiny of the Biden administration's approach to the ongoing conflict.
