Blinken Calls for Reform of Israeli Military After Activist's Death
News summary

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has condemned the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) following the fatal shooting of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old American-Turkish activist, during a protest in the West Bank. Blinken emphasized that the killing was 'unprovoked and unjustified' and called for 'fundamental changes' in Israeli military operations, particularly regarding rules of engagement. Eygi was reportedly shot while attending a demonstration against settlement expansion, and the IDF acknowledged that its fire likely killed her unintentionally. Blinken noted that this incident marks the second American citizen killed by Israeli security forces, which he deemed unacceptable. He pledged to raise concerns with senior Israeli officials, highlighting the need for accountability and reform in military conduct. Eygi was associated with the International Solidarity Movement and was reportedly positioned away from the main clash when she was shot.
