Our deepest condolences to the loved ones of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky, the two young Israeli embassy staffers who were murdered last night. It is devastating that their lives have been cut short as the result of an act of Jew hatred. Violence against Israelis and Jewish people must be stopped.

May their memories be a blessing.
