US President Joe Biden says the killing of a US-Turkish activist during a protest in the West Bank last week appears to have been an accident, after the IDF said she had “with high probability” been hit by soldiers’ mistaken gunfire and expressed its regret for her death.
“Apparently it was an accident — it ricocheted off the ground, and she got hit by accident,” Biden tells reporters, hours after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the killing was “unprovoked and unjustified.”
