Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is speaking with the parents of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, the Israeli embassy staff members who were murdered in a shooting attack in Washington DC last night, the Prime Minister’s Office says in a statement.

“The prime minister told the families that he shares in their deep sorrow, together with all the people of Israel,” says the statement.

The PMO adds that in Netanyahu’s earlier conversation with US Attorney General Pam Bondi, she “pledged that the murderer — and all who collaborated with him — will be brought to justice, and that the American administration will continue to fight antisemitism forcefully.”
