‘Final phases’ of Israel’s inquiry into Aysenur’s murder, according to the US

According to State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller, the United States want to inform her family of the findings.

According to the State Department, Israel has informed the US that it is in the “final stages” of an inquiry into the September murder of Turkish-American activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi by Israeli soldiers in the occupied West Bank.

During a briefing at the State Department’s Foreign Press Center on Tuesday, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller informed reporters, “They have informed us that they are nearing the end of their investigation.”

“We would like to be informed of the outcome. He continued, “We want to know exactly what happened, why it happened, who was involved, and what Israel is doing to ensure that there are no such instances in the future.

According to Miller, the United States made it apparent to Israel that Eygi’s death was “unacceptable” and “never should have happened.”

We want to know why she was present at a nonviolent demonstration. “We would like to provide her family with answers,” he continued.

American Secretary of State Antony Blinken “met with her family yesterday because they have a right to know, they have a right to demand accountability, and we share their demands for it,” Miller stated.

The same rhetoric
After meeting with Blinken on Monday at the State Department, Eygi’s family voiced their dissatisfaction, claiming they heard the “same things” but that nothing significant was done.

“Secretary Blinken listened to us carefully, but regrettably, she reiterated many of the same points we have been hearing for the past 20 years, especially since the murder of (American activist) Rachel Corrie, who, like my wife, lives in Washington state. After the meeting, Eygi’s husband, Hamid Ali, told reporters, “It’s annoying to hear the same things again.”

“This time, we’re hoping for a different outcome. He reiterated the family’s demand for a US-led probe into her murder, saying, “But as I said, our expectations are what they are.”

Eygi’s sister, Ozden Bennett, stated that the family does not believe the Israeli probe to be “credible.”

“He (Blinken) listened to our frustrations, which were long, and at this point, we did leave asking Secretary of State Blinken to push publicly and put pressure on the Israeli government at the very least to finish their investigation into my sister’s killing before the changeover in the administration,” she stated.

Willful murder
On September 6, Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, 26, a dual citizen of the US and Turkey, was assassinated by Israeli soldiers while participating in a nonviolent demonstration against illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank near Nablus.

Eygi was “highly likely” struck “indirectly and unintentionally” by Israeli fire that was aimed at a “main instigator of violent activity who hurled rocks” during the protest, according to an initial Israeli investigation.

However, witness reports and video evidence have refuted Israel’s version of events, with many claiming she was shot directly by an Israeli sniper.

Eygi was shot more than 30 minutes after the height of the clashes in Beita and roughly 20 minutes after demonstrators had retreated more than 200 yards down the main road, away from Israeli troops, according to a Washington Post story.
