IAF Statement on the Murder of Israeli Diplomats in D.C.


The Israel Allies Foundation released the following statement in response to the murder of Israeli Embassy staff Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky.

"We are heartbroken and outraged by the antisemitic murder of these two young diplomats, whose lives were senselessly taken in an act of hatred. We condemn this vile crime in the strongest terms and stand in solidarity with their families, friends, and the Jewish community. Antisemitism has no place in our world, and we mourn the loss of these promising young people.

The tragic murder of Yaron and Sarah exposes the deeply troubling undercurrent of antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment manifested on city streets and in college campuses across the nation. The absence of unequivocal condemnation from certain individuals reflects a profound moral failing, highlighting the urgent need to confront and eradicate this hatred in all its forms.

Our prayers are with the family and the Embassy of Israel at this tragic time.

May their memory be a blessing."
