U.N. Calls for Full Investigation into Death of U.S. Citizen in West Bank

Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old Turkish-American activist, was shot and killed by Israeli forces during a protest in Beita, a village in the occupied West Bank. The circumstances of her death are disputed, with some sources attributing it to a stray bullet and others claiming she was intentionally targeted by an Israeli sniper. The Israeli military stated that its forces responded with fire towards a main instigator of violent activity, but witnesses and Palestinian officials said Israeli soldiers had fired the shots that killed her. The incident has sparked international condemnation and calls for an investigation, with the United States condemning the killing and attributing it to "Israeli occupation soldiers". The Turkish Foreign Ministry confirmed that Eygi was a citizen and had been protesting settlement expansion in the West Bank.
