"The family of the American activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi said on Tuesday that neither the White House nor Joe Biden had called to offer condolences. Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, 26, who is also a Turkish national, was shot dead last Friday at a protest march in Beita, a village near Nablus where Palestinians have been repeatedly attacked by far-right Jewish settlers."
"Eygi's family called Israel's preliminary inquiry wholly inadequate and demanded an independent US investigation. Hamid Ali, Eygi's partner, in response to Biden's comments, said her death was no accident and her killers must be held accountable."
"For four days, we have waited for President Biden to pick up the phone and do the right thing: to call us, offer his condolences, and let us know that he is ordering an independent investigation. This was no accident."
"The US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, and the defence secretary, Lloyd Austin, on Tuesday demanded an overhaul of Israeli military conduct in the occupied West Bank as they decried the fatal shooting of an American protester against settlement expansion, which Israel said was accidental."
