As pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans, we write in support of your call for “full accountability” for the death of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi and for the Netanyahu government to “ensure that incidents like this never happen again.”

It will take strong leadership to ensure this is the case – including an independent US-led investigation that delivers answers to her family, as well as firm pressure on the Netanyahu government to tighten IDF rules of engagement, prioritize de-escalation and ensure full accountability when things go wrong.

With extremism on the rise across the region, and the risk of events spiraling further out of control, the US must do more to ensure the Netanyahu government is not operating in a manner that violates our shared values or makes a challenging security situation even worse.

Sincerely,
The undersigned
