Last week, the Israeli military shot and killed 26-year-old American
activist Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi in the West Bank,
John.

The unwarranted murder of a U.S. citizen by Netanyahu’s forces is an
absolute outrage, but the Biden Administration has failed to do anything
to hold this right-wing government accountable for taking her life as well
as the lives of more than 40,000 Palestinian civilians.

Our Justice Democrats-endorsed members of Congress have led the call for
peace and justice since October 7th, with Representatives Cori Bush and
Rashida Tlaib introducing the first bill demanding an immediate, permanent
ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages on both sides. Fellow JD
members joined them in becoming some of the first to stand on the right
side of history on this issue.

Now, Rep. Delia Ramirez and Rep. Pramila Jayapal are demanding
accountability for Ayşenur’s murder and the escalating violence in the
West Bank.

Delia issued a letter signed by 20 of her House colleagues, including 7
other Justice Democrats, to U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken asking
the Biden Administration for specific, significant actions to hold Israel
accountable and prevent further settlement expansion and violence against
Palestinians.

[ [link removed] ]Tweet from @repdeliaramirez: @SecBlinken, I agree. The killing of
Aysenur Ezgi Eygi was unprovoked and unjustified. Israeli security forces
must fundamentally change the way they operate in the West Bank. That’s
why I am leading 20 of my colleagues to ask for the specific actions our
government will take to hold Israel security forces accountable for the
death of an American citizen and ensure the end to settlement expansion
and violence against Palestinians.

Pramila sent a similar letter demanding the U.S. oversee an independent
investigation into the Israeli military’s killing of Ayşenur, and clear
next steps to prevent further loss of innocent lives.

[ [link removed] ]Tweet from @RepJayapal: NEW: Sen. Patty Murray and I are calling on the
admin to conduct an independent, U.S.-led investigation into the killing
of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi by the IDF. We must pursue accountability for those
involved to ensure this never happens again.

While we wait for President Biden and his cabinet to finally do something
about the Israeli military’s genocide against Palestinians and killing of
American citizens, it is beyond clear that we need more Justice Democrats
like Delia and Pramila in Congress fighting for the rights of ALL people.
