Members of the Democratic Party in the US Congress have condemned the murder of US citizen Aysenur Ezgi Eigi in Judea and Samaria and called for Israel to be held accountable for the incident.
As is known, 26-year-old Ezgi Eigi, an activist supporting the Palestinian position, was shot in the head during protests against settlement expansion in Judea and Samaria on Friday, September 6. Witnesses say that during the weekly demonstration against the settlements, some participants began throwing stones at Israeli soldiers, who responded with fire.
However, one eyewitness told the Associated Press that the situation had calmed down by the time Eigi was shot and that she posed no threat to IDF forces. Our military claims that it “opened fire on the main instigator of violence” in the area, killing “a foreign citizen.”
They added that “details of the incident and the circumstances under which she was killed are currently being investigated.”
Earlier, Cursor wrote that the United Nations demanded a “thorough investigation” into the murder of a US citizen of Turkish origin during a demonstration near Nablus. Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for the UN Secretary General, expressed his desire for a thorough investigation into the circumstances of the murder and for those responsible to be brought to justice.
In addition, Cursor has already reported that Turkey has expressed condemnation over the murder of an activist that occurred during a demonstration in the Beita area near Shechem.
