Trump Condemns Killing of Israeli Diplomats in Washington D.C.

Two Israeli embassy staff members, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, were fatally shot outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., by a suspect who reportedly shouted "Free Palestine" during the attack. The incident has been widely condemned as an antisemitic act by U.S. and international leaders, including President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand. Trump expressed deep sorrow and emphasized the need to combat antisemitism, while also discussing the situation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who linked the attack to broader geopolitical tensions and criticized world leaders proposing a Palestinian state. White House officials and other U.S. politicians condemned the violence, pledging justice and highlighting concerns over domestic terrorism. The attack has intensified calls for action against antisemitic violence and support for the Israeli community in the U.S. and abroad. The tragic event underscores ongoing tensions surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its repercussions globally.
