WASHINGTON, D.C. – Last night, two Israeli embassy staff members were shot and killed during an event hosted by the American Jewish Committee at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. A pro-Palestinian man is in custody after allegedly killing Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, a young couple soon to be engaged.

Chairman of Christians in Defense of Israel Mat Staver said, “We extend our prayers to the families of the victims. Their lives were tragically cut short by this needless hatred. We must not tolerate antisemitism in America or anywhere in the world.”
