German foreign minister shocked at killing of Israeli embassy staff
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul on Thursday expressed shock at the killing of two Israeli embassy staff members in Washington.
According to Wadephul, “Anti-Semitic violence can never be justified.”
He was “shocked at the dastardly murder” of the two employees, he wrote on X, adding that his thoughts were with the families of the victims and colleagues in the Israeli Foreign Ministry.
The two victims were shot dead near the Capital Jewish Museum.
According to Israeli ambassador to the U.S., Yechiel Leiter, they were a young couple who were about to get engaged.
U.S. police said the suspect has been arrested and that after the killings, he allegedly chanted the slogan “free, free Palestine.”(dpa/NAN)
