The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates strongly condemns the brutal execution committed today by Israeli occupation forces against American-Turkish solidarity activist Aysenur Ezgy (26), who was shot in the head with live ammunition in Beita, south of Nablus.
The ministry views this act as part of the ongoing crimes perpetrated by the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people, including genocide, forced displacement, and the targeting of individuals who show solidarity with the Palestinian cause.
The Israeli government bears full responsibility for this heinous crime, which is yet another example of its premeditated efforts to further escalate the situation in the region, diverting attention from its colonial and expansionist agenda in the occupied state of Palestine.
The Ministry calls on the international community, human rights organizations, and global institutions to take urgent action to provide international protection for Palestinians. The Ministry urges these entities to fulfill their legal and moral responsibilities by addressing violations, including genocide, forced displacement, illegal settlements, and extrajudicial killings, and to hold Israeli war criminals accountable.
