Aysenur Eygi , a U.S.-Turkish dual national, was shot in the head by an Israeli sniper in the West Bank city of Nablus .

She was shot not long after joining a protest organized by the International Solidarity Movement .

Eygi 's husband says he is appalled by the reaction of the Biden administration.

The State Department told CBS News it continues pushing to see the results of a "full, transparent" Israeli probe.

Eygi 's husband, Ali , said Israel 's close alliance with the U.S. should not make it immune to consequences.

"I think it's the policy at this point, which can be characterized as providing impunity to Israeli forces, even in the killing of American citizens," he said.

His sister-in-law said the Biden administration had yet to address the family's pain.
