Blinken urges Israel to make changes after activist killed

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday said he will press Israel to make "fundamental changes" in its operations in the occupied West Bank after the military acknowledged its fire likely killed a US citizen activist.After an initially measured response to Friday's death of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi pending a fact-finding exercise, Blinken said the United States would raise her death at senior levels with its key ally.The investigation, and eyewitness accounts, make clear "that her killing was both unprovoked and unjustified", Blinken told reporters on a visit to London.
