Anti-Jewish attacks have increased since the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas in 2023, and have remained high during Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, according to groups that monitor hate crimes around the world.

Those responsible for the fatal attack against two Israeli Embassy employees in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday will be prosecuted to the "fullest extent of the law," according to the White House.

The two young Israeli embassy employees killed by a gunman at a Jewish museum in Washington had big dreams of building bridges and promoting dialogue in the conflict-ridden Middle East, according to people who knew them.

Elsewhere in Washington, House Speaker Mike Johnson is likely breathing a sigh of relief after House Republicans passed their “big, beautiful bill” – the centerpiece of Trump’s sweeping domestic agenda – this morning.

Israeli Embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were departing an event Wednesday evening when they were gunned down and killed.
