US EditionGideon Sa'ar lays blame for Washington murders on antisemitic incitement
- On May 22, 2025, two employees of the Israeli embassy, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, were fatally shot outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C.
- Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar attributed the killings to a global surge in antisemitic and anti-Israeli incitement, especially following the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack.
- Sa'ar linked the climate of hostility to European criticism of Israel's intensified military campaign in Gaza, which has included an 11-week blockade and caused over 53,000 Palestinian deaths.
- Sa’ar asserted that there is a clear link between antisemitic and anti-Israeli rhetoric and the recent murder, urging global leaders to stop using language that puts Jewish communities at risk.
- The shootings intensified concerns about security threats to Israeli missions and Jewish communities worldwide, prompting Israeli missions to lower flags to half-mast in memory of the victims.
