Shafaqna English- Palestine will file ICC complaint over killing of Turkish-American Activist. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has announced that preparations are underway to lodge a complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC) over the killing of Turkish-American Activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi by Israeli forces.
Abbas informed Eygi’s father, Mehmet Suat Eygi, of the decision in a phone call on Saturday (14 Sep 2024). He also expressed his condolences to the Turkish people, according to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa.
