Netanyahu messed with Biden! Israeli soldiers shot an American woman on the coast of Palestine for this reason

Nablus: The soldiers of Israel, which America is helping against Hamas, have now messed with their own friend. Netanyahu’s army has shot an American woman on the coast of Palestine. It is feared that this act of Israeli soldiers may anger US President Joe Biden. Now let us tell you why Israeli soldiers shot this American woman?

Biden and Netanyahu: A crisis in perspective

It is being told that the American-origin woman who was shot by Israeli soldiers was involved in a protest organized on Friday against the settlement on the West Bank of Palestine. Israeli soldiers shot the American woman for this reason, due to which she died. Another protester gave this information to the ‘Associated Press’. At the same time, two doctors said that the woman was shot in the head.

America’s reaction after the death of the woman

US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller confirmed the death of 26-year-old Turkish-born woman Aysenur Ezgi Egi. He did not say whether she was shot by Israeli soldiers or not. The White House said in a statement that it was ‘deeply disturbed’ by the killing of an American citizen. Turkey’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Oncu Keseli said that Egi was also a Turkish citizen. He said that his country “will make every effort to ensure that those who killed its citizen are brought to justice.” The Israeli army said it was investigating reports that soldiers killed a foreign citizen while firing at “inciters of violent activity” in the protest area. According to the news, the woman who died from the bullet was participating in a weekly demonstration against the expansion of the settlement.

Another American was also shot by Israel earlier
This protest has turned violent earlier as well. A month earlier, American citizen Amado Sisson was shot in the leg by Israeli soldiers as he tried to escape tear gas and gunfire. Jonathan Pollack, an Israeli citizen who was part of the protest, said the shooting occurred as dozens of Palestinian and international activists were holding mass prayers on a hill outside the northern West Bank city of Beita, overlooking the Israeli settlement of Evyatar. Dr. Ward Basalat, who provided first aid to the woman at the scene, and Dr. Fouad Naffa, director of the nearby Rafidia hospital where she was taken, said the woman had been shot in the head. Egi is the third International Solidarity Movement (ISM) activist killed since 2000.

Turkey condemns woman’s killing
ISM activists often try to stop Israeli forces from conducting operations by standing between the Israeli army and Palestinians. Two ISM activists killed earlier were American Rachel Corrie and British photography student Tom Hurndall, who were killed in Gaza in 2003. Turkey’s Foreign Ministry said in a written statement shared on the social media platform X that it condemned the “murder committed by the Netanyahu government”.

Palestinian officials said the killing showed Israel’s stepped-up repression of Palestinian protests in the region since the Israel-Hamas war began. Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Secretary-General Hussein al-Sheikh wrote on X that the killing was “another crime in a series of crimes committed daily by the occupation forces”.
