US Activist Killed in West Bank Protest
During a protest against the expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank, Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old US-American of Turkish descent and member of the International Solidarity Movement, was fatally shot by Israeli soldiers. This incident comes amidst rising violence by Israeli settlers and weekly protests in the region.
The Israeli government's push for settlement expansion has led to increased tensions and the deaths of over 660 Palestinians in the West Bank since the beginning of the Gaza war. The US embassy has yet to comment on the incident, but the White House expressed deep concern.
Turkey's foreign ministry blamed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government. The Israeli military claims their troops fired at a male 'main instigator' who posed a threat, while Palestinian groups accuse Israeli forces of complicity in attacks.
The incident underscores the ongoing conflict in the region and the need for a peaceful resolution.
