On May 22, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the killing of two Israeli staff members in Washington, D.C. "horrific." The victims, a young couple named Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, were shot on the night of May 21 after leaving an event near the Capital Jewish Museum. The suspect reportedly shouted "Free Palestine" after being arrested. In response, Israeli embassies around the world increased security. At the same time, Israel is facing global criticism for its military actions in Gaza, and Jewish groups are warning about rising anti-Semitic attacks. Netanyahu also commented on another incident where Israeli soldiers fired near a group of European diplomats in Jenin. The army said the group had strayed from an approved route.
