The Muslim World League (MWL) strongly condemned on Sunday the murder of American-Turkish activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi and child Bana Amjad Bakr by Israeli forces and extremist militias protected by the Israeli army, south of Nablus.

“The killings are part of the ongoing barbaric and systematic violence in the Palestinian territories,” said MWL General Secretariat, MWL Secretary-General Sheikh Dr. Mohammad bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa in a statement.

He slammed the “ongoing horrific crimes against civilians that the Israeli government's war machine continues to commit, which are in direct violation of humanitarian and legal standards.”

Dr. Al-Issa underscored the urgent need for the international community “to address this horrific humanitarian crisis and to cease the systematic violations against innocent civilians in the Palestinian territories.”

Eygi was shot dead on Friday in the West Bank. She had been demonstrating against Israeli settlements there.

The White House has said it was “deeply disturbed” and called on Israel to investigate, while her family seeks an independent investigation.
