Demand accountability for Israeli killings of American citizens.

The pattern of Israeli military action resulting in the killing of American citizens is deeply concerning and demands a forceful response from the United States government. Israel's status as a close ally does not absolve it from being held accountable when the lives of US nationals are tragically lost due to its military operations. The recent death of Turkish American activist Aysenur Eygi, reportedly shot in the head by an Israeli soldier during a protest in the West Bank, is the latest in a string of incidents where Americans have been killed by Israeli forces with seeming impunity. While Israel has pledged investigations into these killings, the lack of meaningful accountability and consequences raises troubling questions about the nation's commitment to protecting innocent civilian lives, including those of American citizens. The US must make clear that such incidents are unacceptable breaches of the respect owed to American lives and human rights. All options, including restricting military aid and cooperation under laws like the Leahy Law, should be on the table to compel real reform in Israel's rules of engagement and prevent future senseless loss of life.
