The sister of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, an American activist killed in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, says her idealistic vision of the U.S. has been shattered.
More than two months after American activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi was killed in the Israel i-occupied West Bank , allegedly by a member of Israel 's security forces, her family tells CBS News their faith in the United States has been shattered due to the lack of any independent criminal investigation.Eygi's husband Hamid Ali said he was appalled by the reaction of the Biden administration. 'I would hope that the U.S.
had 'full access to Israel's preliminary investigation, and expects continued access as the investigation continues, so that we can have confidence in the result.'But Eygi's father, Mehmet Suat Eygi, said it seemed to have become the norm for the U.S. government to downplay the killing of Americans by Israeli forces. He said his daughter's death reminded him of the deaths of other U.S. nationals in the Palestinian territories, particularly Rachel Corrie and Shireen Abu Akleh.
