Middle East updates: Family of slain US citizen urges probe DW 09/07/2024
Briefly

The family of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a US citizen killed in the West Bank, demands an independent investigation, insisting that an Israeli-led probe is insufficient given the circumstances.
Eygi's family stated, 'A US citizen, Aysenur was peacefully standing for justice when she was killed by a bullet that video shows came from an Israeli military shooter,' urging accountability.
The White House expressed being 'deeply disturbed' by Eygi's death and urged Israel to conduct an investigation, though there was no confirmation whether she was shot by their troops.
The Israeli military acknowledged the shooting, stating they are investigating the circumstances, mentioning Eygi as an 'instigator of violent activity' during the protest against settlement expansion.
