Turkey seeks autopsy on Eygi to gather evidence for ICJ trial
Aysenur Ezgi Eygi’s body has arrived in Istanbul, but it was a long journey. It was taken first to Baku, Azerbaijan because due to the relations between Turkey and Israel, there are no flights between the two countries.
Now, Turkish authorities are trying to convince the family to give permission to conduct an autopsy to gather the evidence that could later be used in the ongoing trial against Israel at the International Court of Justice.
The body is likely to be taken to the city of Didim, her hometown, and tomorrow afternoon her funeral will be held. Here in the city, the general mood is a mixture of pride and mourning.
Activists from across the globe as well as Turkish officials are expected to attend the ceremony.
‘These findings contradict the Israeli narrative’
Aysenur Ezgi Eygi’s body is in Istanbul and we’re expecting it to come to her hometown of Didim, either tonight or tomorrow in the morning, and then in the afternoon, she is going to be buried here.
When talking to the people here, including family members, they say they do not trust the Israeli investigation, that there are lots of ambiguities around that investigation, and is not transparent at all.
The Israelis say they have initiated an investigation, and according to the initial findings, the Israeli army is saying that it was indirect and likely unintentional. But today we have received the forensic report of the autopsy that was conducted in the West Bank, and according to this autopsy, the projectile travelled left to right through her brain in a nearly straight path. So these findings contradict the Israeli narrative, indeed suggesting otherwise.

Killing of Turkish-American activist to have diplomatic repercussions
The killing of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi in the occupied West Bank is likely to have diplomatic repercussions amid a mounting debate over Israel’s claim that the shooting was “unintentional”, Galip Dalay, an analyst at the Middle East Council on Global Affairs, has told Al Jazeera.
A forensic report compiled by Palestinian authorities and obtained by Turkey has cast doubt on the claim that the 26-year-old was accidentally hit by a bullet in her head.
“I think that is going to turn into a major issue between Israel and Turkey,” Dalay said, especially given that Ankara has said it would take the information to the International Court of Justice as part of evidence in an ongoing trial against Israel.
The incident will also “turn into an issue between Turkey and the US”, the analyst said, as Ankara has launched an investigation into the killing and demanded that Washington takes a similar step.
Dalay added that Turkey’s demand comes amid the perception of a “double standard” on the part of the US, which is seen as reacting more strongly to the killing of Israeli-Americans compared with other dual nationals.
