Joe Biden has described the Israel Defense Force’s fatal shooting of the Turkish American protester Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi as “totally unacceptable” in his first extensive comments on her death.
In a statement on Wednesday, Biden said that Israel had “acknowledged responsibility” for Eygi’s death, but he stopped short of backing the demands put out by Eygi’s family and other human rights advocates for an independent inquiry into the fatal shooting of the American activist at a protest in the West Bank town of Beita last week.
“I am outraged and deeply saddened by the death of Aysenur Eygi,” Biden said in the statement. “Israel has acknowledged its responsibility for Aysenur’s death, and a preliminary investigation has indicated that it was the result of a tragic error resulting from an unnecessary escalation.”
Neither will Harris, should she be elected. The Wolfowitz doctrine is alive and well.
Trump will make sure they kill all the Palestinian Americans
I’m sure Netanyahu has already promised him some prime beachfront real estate in return for just that
Trump stopped the war in Afghanistan and hasn’t started a single new one. Unlike Obama and Biden. I’m voting trump cuz I’m against genocide.
Trump will only bend the knee even more
