Israel’s military has said it was highly likely its troops fired the shot that killed Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, the American-Turkish woman killed at a protest in the occupied West Bank.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said her death was unintentional and expressed deep regret.
The statement came as Antony Blinken, the US secretary of state, called the killing of the 26-year-old last week “unprovoked and unjustified”.
Speaking on a diplomatic visit to London, Blinken told journalists that Eygi’s death showed the Israeli security forces needed to make fundamental changes to their rules of engagement.
So, the new deal etc didn’t happen. Gotcha.
It can and does happen. But unfortunately it’s very slow moving. Creeping over generations. Which makes it nearly impossible to see by many. Especially younger people who’ve only known the current situation. The last Peak being back in the silent generation’s lifetime. It happens and we have made progress and will make progress. Especially if we can stop finding scapegoats to blame for why things won’t work. And start working together again showing solidarity like they did back then
