The US vice president and Democratic nominee has failed to back Aysenur Eygi’s family’s call for an independent investigation.
Washington, DC – Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has decried the killing of American activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi by Israeli forces, but the United States vice president stopped short of endorsing requests for an independent investigation into the incident.
In a statement on Wednesday, Harris called the fatal shooting of Eygi in the occupied West Bank last week “tragic” and “unacceptable”. She also urged “full accountability” for the killing.
“Israel must do more to ensure that incidents like this never happen again,” Harris said.
