Israeli troops shoot Turkish-American woman dead at West Bank protest, officials say
RAMALLAH, West Bank -Israeli troops shot and killed a Turkish-American woman who had been taking part in a protest against settlement expansion in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on Friday, Palestinian and Turkish officials said.
She studied psychology and Middle Eastern languages and cultures at the university, her family said in a statement late on Friday that was shared by the pro-Palestinian organization Institute of Middle East Understanding. "I begged her not to go , but she had this deep conviction that she wanted to participate in the tradition of bearing witness to the oppression of people and their dignified resilience," Aria Fani, an assistant professor of Middle Eastern languages and cultures at the University of Washington, told the Guardian.
The"Biden Administration has not been doing enough to pursue justice and accountability on their behalf", said Van Hollen, a Democrat like Biden and Harris, who sits on the Senate's Foreign Relations Committee."If the Netanyahu Government will not pursue justice for Americans, the U.S. Department of Justice must."
