Two Israeli Embassy staff members were fatally shot outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington. The assailant, Elias R., was arrested after the attack, during which he reportedly chanted about Palestine. This incident underscored the surge in antisemitic incidents linked to the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Israeli officials condemned the attack, with Prime Minister Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Saar emphasizing the connection between antisemitic rhetoric and violence, while President Herzog labeled the act as a severe manifestation of hatred.
This is a despicable act of hatred, of antisemitism, which has claimed the lives of two young employees of the Israeli embassy.
My heart aches for the families of the beloved young man and woman, whose lives were abruptly cut short by a despicable antisemitic terrorist.
