Nine Democratic lawmakers, led by Vermont Senator Peter Welch, sent a letter to the U.S. State Department demanding clarification regarding the investigation into the circumstances of the death of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, the Turkish-American citizen who was killed by IDF gunfire during riots near Nablus in September. The lawmakers requested details about the Israeli soldier involved in the shooting, the unit to which he belonged, and whether the U.S. Department of Justice was asked to investigate the case.
