Family demands independent investigation as Biden administration faces criticism for lack of response.

  • Ayşenur Eygi, a 26-year-old US citizen, was killed by Israeli forces during a protest against illegal settlements in the West Bank.
  • Eygi's family and human rights groups are calling for an independent investigation, criticizing the US government's inaction.
  • The Israeli military claims Eygi was accidentally hit by a ricocheted bullet aimed at another target, a claim disputed by eyewitnesses and her family.
  • US officials, including President Biden and Vice President Harris, have yet to speak directly with Eygi's family, despite issuing statements of condolence.
  • Turkey has launched its own investigation, treating Eygi's death as a premeditated murder and seeking international arrest warrants for those responsible.
