‘Deeply disturbed’ White House calls for inquiry into killing of Aysenur Eygi
Eygi, 26, was protesting against settlements in occupied West Bank when she was killed by Israeli troops, witnesses say

The White House said it was “deeply disturbed” by the death of an American woman who, according to Palestinian officials and witnesses, was shot in the head by Israeli troops during a protest against Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. The White House also called for Israel to investigate her killing, which has caused strong reactions across the international community.

The US state department confirmed the death of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, 26, a volunteer peace activist with the anti-occupation International Solidarity Movement (ISM).

Eygi – a US-Turkey dual national – died on Friday after being fatally shot during a regular protest against settlement expansion in Beita near Nablus, the official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

The ISM, which organises foreign volunteers in the Palestinian territories, said Israeli forces “intentionally shot and killed” an international human rights activist during the weekly protest on Friday morning. It did not name the volunteer.

He makes mention of a possible escalation agreement between the US and Russia on Ukraine.

After the US declined Russia's request for a security guarantee in mid-December 2021, the two sides worked out an escalation agreement before the war was to commence. There have been mentions of it in the past, such as the October 2022 NYT op-ed article on US escalation in Ukraine and the seeming inability or unwillingness of Russia to match US/NATO actions. Not long after the report, Putin gave a national address on a new partial mobilization of 300,000 men.
