US Demands Changes to Israeli Military Operations in West Bank Following Killing of American Citizen

ai generated text

Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old American-Turkish activist, was killed in the West Bank during a demonstration against Jewish settlement expansion. Witnesses and Palestinian officials reported that she was shot by Israeli troops, while the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) stated that it was "highly likely" that she was hit indirectly and unintentionally. An initial inquiry by military police found that Eygi was hit by fire during a "violent riot" where Palestinians had thrown rocks at Israeli security forces. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken called for "fundamental changes" to the way Israeli security forces operate in the occupied West Bank, citing the incident as an example of the need for reform.

    1. Israel has acknowledged its responsibility for Aysenur's death, and a preliminary investigation has indicated that it was the result of a tragic error resulting from an unnecessary escalation.

    1. No one, no one should be shot and killed for attending a protest. No one should have to put their life at risk just for expressing their views.
    2. It has to change, and we'll be making that clear to the senior-most members of the Israeli government.
    3. For four days, we have waited for President Biden to pick up the phone and do the right thing: to call us, offer his condolences and let us know that he is ordering an independent investigation of the killing of Ayşenur.
