Israel’s military has said it was highly likely its troops fired the shot that killed Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, the American-Turkish woman killed at a protest in the occupied West Bank.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said her death was unintentional and expressed deep regret.

The statement came as Antony Blinken, the US secretary of state, called the killing of the 26-year-old last week “unprovoked and unjustified”.

      Harris or Trump, we will continue to fund Israel and support them until the end.

      In the duopoly debate, they were trying to show off who supports Israel the most.

      Trump: “She hates Israel, she wouldn’t even meet with Netanyahu…”

      Harris: “That’s absolutely not true, I have my entire career and life supported Israel”

        Well she has to say the right thing to get her elected no matter what she thinks. And I’m not saying she doesn’t think what she says but there’s a decent possibility she’s… how should I say this… not completely honest in all of her statements.
