Biden Calls Israel's Killing of Turkish American Activist Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi "Totally Unacceptable"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Biden on Wednesday called Israel's killing of 26-year-old U.S.
activist and University of Washington graduate Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi in the
West Bank "totally unacceptable." This comes after Biden received
backlash for his previous lukewarm remarks about her killing, which he
dismissed as "apparently an accident." Biden, however, has not called
for an independent probe into the death. Turkey says it has opened its
own investigation into the killing of the dual U.S.-Turkish citizen.
