🔵   State Dept. defends not launching investigation into Aysenur Eygi's death

Politics

The Biden Administration is facing mounting pressure from both domestic and international media and the family of American-Turkish citizen Aysenur Eygi on its decision to wait for the completion of Israel's investigation into Eygi's death before deciding if it will launch an independent investigation. In its initial inquiry released last week, the IDF found it was highly likely its troops had fired the shot that killed Eygi but that her death was unintentional, and it "voiced deep regret."Addressing reporters on Monday, State Department Spokesperson Mathew Miller reiterated the administration's position on awaiting "the full criminal investigation that the Government of Israel has launched before we make any determinations."
