Israel’s military has said it was highly likely its troops fired the shot that killed Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, the American-Turkish woman killed at a protest in the occupied West Bank.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said her death was unintentional and expressed deep regret.

The statement came as Antony Blinken, the US secretary of state, called the killing of the 26-year-old last week “unprovoked and unjustified”.

Speaking on a diplomatic visit to London, Blinken told journalists that Eygi’s death showed the Israeli security forces needed to make fundamental changes to their rules of engagement.

Make no mistake - Trump would do that and more.

If both parties are for it, how can anyone be against it?

The country is more than a president.

The biggest change isn't going to come from the top, it's going to come from the bottom. Support local and state reps that share your values, they're far more likely to get elected than a federal position, and have a much more direct impact on peoples daily lives (and ability to support reps at the federal level).

Yet, there are articles specifically about Trump wanting Russia to win. Should we stop those articles because a country is more than the president?
