I’m writing to urge you to join a letter led by Congressman Adam Smith to President Biden, Secretary Blinken, and Attorney General Garland urging the U.S. government to conduct an independent, thorough, credible, and transparent investigation into the killing of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi.

On September 6, we learned about the fatal shooting in the West Bank of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, an American citizen. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) preliminary investigation found “it is highly likely” Ms. Eygi “was hit indirectly and unintentionally by IDF fire which was not aimed at her” during a “violent riot.” This report contradicts credible, independent eyewitness accounts that suggest the shooting was intentional without provocation.

Given the evidence, and the reality of the unreliability of previous Israeli investigations, the United States must conduct its own independent inquiry. There must be clarity about what happened to Aysenur Ezgi Eygi and accountability for her death.

The letter specifically requests answers to the following questions:
1. What does the U.S. government currently know about the circumstances surrounding Ms. Eygi’s killing?
2. Will the U.S. government conduct an independent, thorough, credible, and transparent investigation into the killing of Ms. Eygi?
3. What would be the proposed timeline and plan for such an investigation?
4. How will the U.S. government seek accountability if the Israeli government refuses to cooperate with such an investigation?

The letter closes COB Wednesday, September 18.

Sincerely,

I’m writing to thank you for your leadership on your letter to President Biden, Secretary Blinken, and Attorney General Garland urging the U.S. government to conduct an independent, thorough, credible, and transparent investigation into the killing of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi.
