Hey everyone, we have some sad news to share today. 😢 On Wednesday, Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, expressed deep sadness after two staff members from the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C., were killed.
This happened near the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. The U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, shared the heartbreaking news.
Prime Minister Netanyahu called it an “antisemitic attack,” which means it might have been done because of prejudice against Jewish people. He spoke with Israel’s Ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter, to learn more about what happened and to offer support.
“We are witnessing the awful results of hatred,” Netanyahu said. “My heart goes out to the families of the young victims, whose lives were tragically cut short.”
He also asked Israeli security to make sure all Israeli embassies around the world are safe.
It’s important for us to stand against hate and support those who are hurting. Let’s keep the families and friends of the embassy workers in our thoughts. ❤️
