The U.S. State Department has acknowledged Israel’s investigation into the killing of a Turkish-American citizen in the Israeli-occupied West Bank during a protest against settlement expansion. U.S. Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel emphasized the need for a thorough and transparent inquiry into the incident,

"The U.S. government has had full access to Israel’s preliminary investigation, and expects continued access as the investigation continues, so that we can have confidence in the result," Biden said in a statement. "There must be full accountability. And Israel must do more to ensure that incidents like this never happen again," he added.

A Turkish-American activist who was killed by Israeli fire in the West Bank was laid to rest on Saturday in her hometown in Turkey with thousands lining the streets and anti-Israeli feelings in the country rising from a conflict that threatens to spread across the region.
