Young Israeli diplomat couple have been shot d8ad
A pro-Palestinian terrorist gunned down the couple who were set to be engaged during a devastating attack outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington D.C.
Israeli embassy staffer Yaron Lischinsky and his girlfriend Sarah Milgrim were named as the tragic victims of the vile attack early on Thursday morning.
The k!lling has been condemned by President Donald Trump.
The suspect, identified as 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez, repeatedly shouted ‘Free Palestine’ as he was hauled into custody, shortly after opening fire.
Lischinsky was a German-Israeli dual national employed as a research assistant for Middle East & North African Affairs at the Embassy’s Political Department, according to his LinkedIn profile.
The couple had attended a Young Diplomats event at the Capital Jewish Museum.
The Israel Heritage Foundation confirmed Lischinsky’s d8ath overnight, writing on X: ‘The IHF sadly announces the tragic murder by a cold blooded terrorist of Yaron Lischinsky in DC. Our hearts ache for his loved ones. May his memory be a blessing.’
Israeli ambassador to the United States Yechiel Leiter revealed Lischinsky had purchased an engagement ring earlier this week ‘with the intention of proposing next week in Jerusalem.’
The other victim in Wednesday night’s senseless attack was his soon-to-be fiancee.
Milgrim worked in the public diplomacy department at the embassy. She earned a master’s degree in international studies from American University.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that ‘wild incitement against the State of Israel’ was to blame for the horror attack and that it was the ‘terrible price of anti-Semitism.’

Wickedness at its peak. The US honestly needs to regulate its arms use. It has done more bad than good.
