An American activist of Turkish descent, 26-year-old Aenor Idi, was shot dead by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank during a protest against Jewish settlement expansion in Beta, near Nablus. The incident, which Turkey has condemned as “murder,” is under investigation by the Israeli military, which labeled Idi as a “central instigator” for allegedly throwing stones at troops. The U.S. is urgently seeking information about the case. The protest was part of regular demonstrations against settlement expansion in the region, which has been accelerating. During the attempt to suppress the protest, it is reported that live ammunition, stun grenades, and tear gas were used by Israeli troops, resulting in Idi’s fatal injury. The recent increase in settler violence in the West Bank has prompted the U.S. to impose more sanctions, reflecting growing international concern over the situation.
