Politicians and diplomats lament deaths of two Israeli Embassy staffers

Following the murder of a Jewish couple by a suspect believed to be part of a far-left Marxist group, social media was flooded with condolences and calls for antisemitism to end.

Israeli Embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were shot and killed outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night in an act that President Donald Trump said was “based obviously on antisemitism.” Others echoed the president’s sentiment.
