After the news of Israel’s killing of US-Turkish citizen Aysenur Ezgi Eygi spread throughout the US and international media landscape, the Biden administration said the news was “tragic”, offering condolences to the family while refraining from laying the blame on Israel or condemning the incident.

Instead, the US State Department said it would gather the information about her death and then make further comment at a later point…

“Hey how’d they die, Matt? Was it magic? Who or what killed Aysenur?” Palestinian American Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib said on X, in response to a comment on the killing from State Department spokesperson Matt Miller.

Palestinian American political analyst Omar Baddar said that it was likely Israel’s killing would be met with few consequences by the US.

“We’re about to get another demonstration of who can kill Americans with impunity,” Baddar sad.
