Activist’s killing likely to complicate ties between Turkey and Israel: Political analyst
Turkish-American activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi’s killing in the occupied West Bank has been met with national mourning in Turkey and is likely to prompt legal action by Ankara, further complicating its diplomatic relations with Israel, an analyst says.
“Turkey will be following up on this issue legally,” Vehbi Baysan, a lecturer at the Ibn Haldun University, told Al Jazeera from Istanbul. While Ankara tried at the beginning of the war in Gaza to position itself as a mediator, it abandoned the task after Israel’s rejection.
Meanwhile, Al Jazeera’s Resul Serdar joins live from the funeral in Aydin Province.
