Israel National News reports: “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on Thursday evening, issued statement following the fatal shooting of two Israeli Embassy employees in Washington, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim.

‘Last night in Washington, something horrific happened,’ Netanyahu said. ‘A brutal terrorist shot in cold blood a young beautiful couple – Yaron Lischinsky and Sara Milgrim. Yaron had just bought an engagement ring for Sarah. He was planning to give it to her in Jerusalem next week. They were planning to start a new and happy life together. Well, that tragically did not happen.’

Netanyahu stressed that the victims ‘weren’t the victims of a random crime,’ adding, ‘The terrorist who cruelly gunned them down did so for one reason and one reason alone – he wanted to kill Jews. And as he was taken away, he chanted, ‘Free Palestine!’

‘This is exactly the same chant we heard on October 7th,’ Netanyahu stated. ‘On that day, thousands of terrorists stormed into Israel from Gaza. They beheaded men. They raped women. They burned babies alive. They butchered 1,200 innocent people and took 251 innocent people hostage to the dungeons of Gaza.’

Referring to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s reaction to October 7th, Netanyahu said, ‘A short time afterwards, Chancellor Scholz of Germany visited Israel. And after he saw the horrors, he said to me, ‘These Hamas terrorists are exactly like the Nazis.’‘

He continued: ‘He was right. And if they could get away with it, these Hamas terrorists would have slaughtered every last Jew on earth. For these neo-Nazis, ‘Free Palestine’ is just today’s version of ‘Heil Hitler.’‘…”
