Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he is “shocked by the horrifying antisemitic murder” of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, DC, and has ordered heightened security at Israeli diplomatic missions worldwide. He said he was briefed by Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. and U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, who vowed the attacker would be brought to justice. Netanyahu thanked Bondi and President Donald Trump “for standing clearly against antisemitism,” and added, “We are witnessing the terrible price of antisemitism and the wild incitement against the State of Israel. The blood libels against Israel are costing us blood and must be fought relentlessly.” He concluded, “My heart aches with the families of the young couple, whose lives were cut short by a despicable antisemitic murderer.”
