YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMore than 100 days have passed since Israeli forces killed 26-year-old Turkish-American Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi as she protested illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. And still, no one has been held to account.
Ayşenur’s husband, Hamid Ali, and her sister, Ozden Bennett, Washington, DC, to appeal to their government to take action.
Hamid and Ozden discussed their long-awaited and ultimately frustrating meeting with Secretary of State Antony Blinken with Zeteo’s Prem Thakker.
“This is not some exception or some extreme set of privileges that we're asking for,” Hamid told Prem. “A US citizen died. We're asking the US government to investigate. That's it.”
Despite pleas from her family and lawmakers, the Biden administration has not opened an independent investigation into her killing. Instead, it has said it’s awaiting the final results of Israel's probe, and reiterated this week that it’s up to the Justice Department to determine whether to launch an investigation into Ayşenur’s killing.
