Hundreds attended the funeral of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a US-Turkish activist killed in the West Bank. Eygi, 26, was shot during a protest against Israeli settlement expansion on September 6. The ceremony took place in Didim, Turkey, with prominent figures including Turkish Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz and Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan in attendance. Turkey accuses Israel of intentional killing, while Israel claims it was an indirect hit. Turkish officials vow to seek justice, as tensions between Turkey and Israel escalate. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken condemned the shooting as "unprovoked and unjustified."
