After a fatal attack in Washington: Israel increases security measures worldwide






After the fatal firearm attack on two employees of the Israeli embassy in Washington, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered increased security measures before Israel’s diplomatic representations worldwide. He reacted to the attack before the Jewish Museum in Washington on Thursday, in which German-Israeli Yaron Lischinsky and US citizen Sarah Lynn Milgrim were killed the evening before. The alleged shooter was arrested, he called “Free, Free Palestine” (freedom for Palestine) when arresting “Free, Free Palestine”. The attack triggered international outrage.

Israel’s head of government Netanyahu continued that he also instructed increased protection for state representatives. “We are experiencing the terrible price of anti -Semitism and wild alarm against the state of Israel,” he said.

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Saar also shared European countries. “There is a direct connection between anti -Semitic and anti -Israeli reversal and this murder,” he said. This “fulfillment” also comes from those responsible for many countries and international organizations, especially from Europe. A French foreign office spokesman rejected this as “completely unjustified”.

In the United States and numerous European countries, the firearm attack triggered shook reactions. US President Donald Trump shared the “obviously due to anti-Semitism” act. “These terrible murders in Washington, which are obviously based on anti -Semitism, have to stop, now,” he said. “Hate and radicalism have no place in the USA.”

Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) condemned the “hideous attack” to the “sharpest”. “At the moment we have to assume an anti -Semitic motive.” The Federal Government’s anti -Semitism representative, Felix Klein, warned of imitators in Germany. “We should therefore be sensitized as a society and the security measures for Jewish institutions should also be reinforced in Germany,” he told the Funke newspapers.

The EU foreign representative Kaja Kallas was “shocked”. “There is no place in our societies for hate, extremism or anti -Semitism,” she said.

The shots were handed over on a sidewalk in front of the Jewish Museum in Washington, in which an event took place. According to the Israeli ambassador in the United States, the two victims were a couple. Lischinsky recently bought a ring and wanted to make a marriage proposal in Jerusalem next week, explained the ambassador Yechiel Head.

According to the Israeli ambassador in Germany, Ron Prosor, Lischinsky was born in Nuremberg. In addition to Israeli, he also had the German passport.

According to the Washington police chief Pamela Smith, the investigators assume that the crime was “committed by a single suspect”. This is “in custody,” she said. According to the police, the alleged perpetrator is a 30-year-old man named Elías Rodríguez from Chicago. In the evening (MESZ), he was accused of murder and arms of the arms.

According to the police, the alleged shooter before the firearm attack was observed how he went up and down in front of the museum. He had approached a group of four people, pulled a gun and opened the fire. After the attack, he entered the museum building. Witnesses reported that the security personnel apparently incorrectly considered the man to be a victim of the firearm attack and let him in the museum.
