U.S. President Joe Biden has strongly condemned the killing of an American activist by Israeli soldiers in the West Bank. The incident occurred during a protest on September 6th, where a Turkish American activist, Aishanor Egi, was shot and killed. Initially, President Biden described the incident as an accident, suggesting that the gunfire may have ricocheted. However, an initial investigation by the Israeli military has prompted a more forceful response from the Biden administration.
President Biden expressed his outrage and deep sadness over Egi's death, calling the shooting 'totally unacceptable.' He demanded full accountability and urged Israel to take measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. Vice President Kamala Harris also criticized the shooting, raising concerns about the conduct of the Israeli military in the West Bank.
