Prime Minister Netanyahu spoke at a memorial event for Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky, two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, D.C., who were shot and killed by a Hamas-supporting terrorist shouting “Free Palestine.”
Hours after meeting with relatives of hostages held in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tried to comfort two families that had already buried their children, the two victims of the antisemitic terror attack at the Capital Jewish Museum.
Netanyahu spoke during a memorial for Sarah Milgrim, 26, and Yaron Lischinsky, 30, held at the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C. The two were scheduled to get engaged the week after the gunman, who said “free Palestine” after he was arrested, shot them as they left an event for young Jewish professionals. Relatives of both of the embassy staffers attended the memorial, both in person and virtually.
