President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris expressed their outrage over the killing of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a US citizen, during a West Bank riot, calling the incident 'unacceptable' and demanding 'full accountability'. Eygi, who was also a pro-Palestinian activist, was reportedly killed by Israeli gunfire, a claim that has led to international tensions, particularly between the US, Israel, and Turkey.
The incident has highlighted the sharp differences between NATO allies over the handling of such sensitive cases. Eygi's family has condemned the Israeli military's probe into her death as 'wholly inadequate', criticizing the suggestion that her killing was unintentional.
Amidst this controversy, the US is working to repatriate Eygi's body, as Biden insists on Israel doing more to prevent such incidents in the future.
