Kamala Harris: Aysenur Eygi killing 'unacceptable'

Kamala Harris, the US vice president and presidential candidate has said that the shooting of Turkish-American activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi by Israeli forces is "unacceptable" and "raises legitimate questions about the conduct of [Israel’s military] personnel in the West Bank.

"Israel must do more to ensure that incidents like this never happen again,” Harris said in a statement.

She added that Israel's preliminary investigation in the shooting found that it was the result of “a tragic error for which the [Israeli army] is responsible”, and that the US would push Israel for answers.
