May 22, Kathmandu-Two Israeli embassy staff members, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, were shot dead outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night following a diplomatic event. The suspect, Elias Rodriguez, 30, from Chicago, was arrested at the scene after reportedly shouting “Free, free Palestine.” Authorities confirmed he was not on any watchlists, and a firearm was recovered. The victims, who were in a relationship, were attending the annual Young Diplomats reception hosted by the American Jewish Committee. Lischinsky was a German-Israeli embassy staffer, and Milgrim, an American Jewish advocate, was known for her work promoting interfaith dialogue. The Israeli and U.S. communities have expressed deep grief, with officials labeling the act as antisemitic. President Trump and other leaders condemned the attack, and concerns have been raised about rising antisemitic violence and the need for increased security at Jewish institutions.
