Blinken says Israel's killing of US-Turkish activist 'unjustified'

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that Israel's killing of a US-Turkish activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi during a protest in the occupied West Bank last week was "unprovoked and unjustified".

"No one should be shot and killed for attending a protest," Blinken told a news conference in London, in his harshest comments to date against the Israeli military.

"In our judgment, Israeli security forces need to make some fundamental changes in the way that they operate in the West Bank, including changes to their rules of engagement."
