Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal and Senator Patty Murray have written to President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, urging them to initiate an independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the killing of US national Aysenur Ezgi Eygi in the West Bank earlier this month.

"That is why we request an immediate, transparent, credible, and thorough independent US investigation, led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), into the killing of Ms. Eygi, which as Secretary Blinken said was 'unprovoked and unjustified,'" the letter said on Wednesday.

Eygi, a 26-year-old US human rights activist, died last Friday from injuries sustained during demonstrations in the West Bank. The United Nations has called for an investigation into her death, and her family has similarly urged Washington to conduct an independent inquiry.

Earlier on Wednesday,  Hami Ali, Eygi's partner, said that US President Joe Biden and the White House have not offered their condolences to American activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi's family after she was shot in the head and killed by Israeli occupation forces last Friday.

“The White House has not spoken with us. For four days, we have waited for President Biden to pick up the phone and do the right thing," Ali said.

"Apparently it was an accident – it ricocheted off the ground, and she got hit by accident. I'm working that out now," Biden told reporters Tuesday.

Ali asserted that Eygi's death was not an accident, urging for her killers to be held accountable. Meanwhile, her family described "Israel's" probe as "wholly inadequate," calling on the US to conduct an independent investigation.
