Eygi

Turkish media outlets have disclosed details of the results of the postmortem examination by the İzmir Forensics Institution in western Türkiye on the body of Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old Turkish-American activist whose killing in the West Bank caused outrage.

Mourners gathered in southwest Türkiye Saturday for the funeral of a U.S.-Turkish activist shot dead while protesting Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

The killing last week of 26-year-old Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi has sparked international condemnation and infuriated Türkiye, further escalating tensions over the war in Gaza.

U.S. President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he is "outraged and deeply saddened" by the killing of a Turkish American activist by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank, saying the shooting "is totally unacceptable."

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have acknowledged that it is highly likely their troops were responsible for the death of Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, an American-Turkish activist who was killed during a protest in the West Bank. The Israeli military stated that her death was accidental and expressed deep regret.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday said that Israel's military needs to make "fundamental changes" after a U.S.-Turkish activist was shot dead during a protest in the occupied West Bank last week.

"Her killing was both unprovoked and unjustified," Blinken said of the death of 26-year-old Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi.
