US urges Israel to conclude probe into killing of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi

US State Department deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel said that Israel is looking into how Turkish-American activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi was killed last week in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

Eygi was killed by Israeli forces – she was shot in the head – during a demonstration against illegal settlement activity in the West Bank.

Patel urged Israel to quickly conclude its investigation.

“We expect that process to be thorough, transparent,” Patel told a news briefing.
