An autopsy shows 26-year-old Aysenur Eyzi Eygi was shot in the head by an Israeli sniper
The family of an American who was killed by Israeli forces in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on Friday is calling for President Biden to order an investigation into the shooting instead of relying on Israel to investigate itself.
Aysenur Eyzi Eygi, 26, was killed while protesting illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank village of Beita, a demonstration organized by the International Solidarity Movement (ISM). An autopsy report confirmed she was killed by an Israeli sniper bullet that hit her head. Eygi was taken to a hospital in the nearby city of Nablus, where she was pronounced dead.
“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,” Eygi’s family said in a statement.
The White House said that it was “deeply disturbed” by Eygi’s killing but did not blame the shooting on Israeli forces and said it asked the Israeli government to investigate the incident.
“We welcome the White House’s statement of condolences, but given the circumstances of Aysenur’s killing, an Israeli investigation is not adequate,” Eygi’s family said. “We call on President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Secretary of State Blinken to order an independent investigation into the unlawful killing of a US citizen and to ensure full accountability for the guilty parties.”
