Protests in West Bank result in the killing of Turkish-American activist Ayşegül Ezgi

Turkish-American activist Ayşegül Ezgi Eygi was deliberately killed by an Israeli army sniper during a protest in the West Bank. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claimed they responded to the 'main instigator of stone-throwing and violent acts that posed a threat.' The International Court of Justice ruled against Israeli activities in Rafah.

Israel's attacks and civilian massacres in Gaza continue, with a UN resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire. Israel has been accused of genocide in a case filed by South Africa.

Eygi's family demands an independent investigation into her death. Turkey's president and the Palestinian health ministry condemn the Israeli action.

Since Hamas' attack, Israeli forces have killed over 662 Palestinians in the West Bank. The family's demand for an inquiry cites similarities to the death of Rachel Corrie in 2003. Eygi was shot during a demonstration against Israeli settlements, while another Palestinian girl, Bana Baker, was also killed on the same day.

A 26-year-old American activist of Turkish origin was killed by Israeli army gunfire during protests against settlement expansion in Nablus. US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller and US Ambassador to Israel Jack Lew condemned the incident. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry and Hamas also condemned the murder and called for accountability before international courts. This comes as the Israeli army withdraws from Jenin following a large-scale military operation in the West Bank. Advocates are demanding justice for the killing, with comparisons being drawn to the reaction towards the killing of an American hostage by Hamas. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken have condemned the incident, with Blinken stating that the US will respond if necessary. At least 661 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli soldiers or settlers in the West Bank since the start of the Israel-Hamas war, while 23 Israelis have been killed in Palestinian attacks. The White House has called for an investigation into the killing and Turkey's Foreign Ministry has condemned Israel's actions as 'barbaric'.
