Senator Patty Murray of Washington state condemned the killing of American citizen Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, Al Jazeera reports.
“The government of Israel must deliver answers immediately and hold the perpetrators of this killing accountable,” Murray said in a statement.
Representative Pramila Jayapal called Ezgi Eygi’s death a terrible tragedy and said her office is actively working to gather more information on the events that led to her death.
“I am very troubled by the reports that she was killed by Israeli […] soldiers. The Netanyahu government has done nothing to stop settlement expansion and settler violence in the West Bank, often encouraged by right-wing ministers of the Netanyahu government,” Jayapal wrote in a statement.
“The killing of an American citizen is a terrible proof point in this senseless war of rising tensions in the region.”
