Palestine’s envoy to the UK urged on Monday, 9 September 2024 the US and the international community to hold Israel accountable for the killing of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a Turkish-American activist.
Palestine Ambassador Husam Zomlot said that Israel has not only killed Palestinians but also citizens from different nations, including the US, UK, and Turkish citizens, for 76 years, without facing consequences.
“The issue is Israel has grown accustomed to the fact that they have full impunity. America has never held accountable those who kill their own citizens, let alone the Palestinian people,” Zomlot said.
he added, “So, this is a moment when it has been exposed that Israel has a free hand to kill at will, whoever it wishes to kill, including the 26-year-old peace activist (Aysenur Ezgi Eygi) who was there (West Bank) to promote and fight for justice and to protect Palestinian civilians from settler violence and terrorism with the full support of Israeli army,”.
It’s worth noting that the activist was shot dead by Israeli forces on Friday while participating in a demonstration against illegal Israeli settlements in the town of Beita, West Bank.
An autopsy report of Eygi has confirmed she was killed by an Israeli sniper’s bullet to the head, Nablus Governor, Ghassan Daghlas, said on Saturday.
