Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he is tightening security at Israeli missions worldwide and increasing protections for his country’s representatives in response to a shooting in Washington, DC, that killed two embassy staff.
Netanyahu’s office said on X he has spoken to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi about the incident to learn more about the alleged suspect and the two embassy employees—a young couple soon to be engaged.
Bondi relayed her deep sorrow to Netanyahu, his office said, and that U.S. President Donald Trump is helping to manage the situation. She said the murderer would be brought to justice.
“We are witnessing the terrible price of antisemitism and the wild incitement against the State of Israel. The blood libels against Israel are paid in blood, and we must fight them relentlessly,” Netanyahu said, per an English translation from Hebrew.
“My heart aches for the families of the beloved young man and woman, whose lives were suddenly cut short by a vile antisemitic murderer.”
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the pair were killed near the Jewish Museum.
