Israeli officials expressed outrage and sorrow following the murder of two Israeli embassy workers in Washington, allegedly linked to anti-Israel sentiments. Politicians shifted blame amidst tension, with far-right ministers accusing leftist critics of inciting violence against Israelis. Minister Itamar Ben Gvir claimed such politicians embolden antisemitism, while opposition leader Yair Golan pointed to the government's provocative actions in Gaza as the culprit. This tragedy has amplified the ongoing debate within Israel about the morality and consequences of the Gaza war, particularly concerning its effect on Jewish safety worldwide.
Far-right national security minister Itamar Ben Gvir said that "antisemites around the world are emboldened by vile politicians" opposed to the war in Gaza, directly blaming leftist critics.
Yair Golan blamed the far-right government, stating its actions give "fuel to antisemitism and Israel hatred," which poses a serious danger to Jews globally.
