Family of American activist killed in West Bank meets with Blinken, urges US inquiry

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met on Monday with the family of Aysenur Eygi, a Turkish-American activist shot dead by the IDF in the West Bank earlier this year, the State Department announced.

State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller told reporters that Blinken expressed condolences to the family and reiterated his belief that the September 6 incident should never have happened.

Eygi, a 26-year-old American originally from Turkey, was an activist with the International Solidarity Movement when she was killed in the village of Beita while taking part in a protest march against Jewish settlement expansion.
