In a show of solidarity following a tragic terrorist attack in Washington, D.C., that claimed the lives of two Israeli diplomats, Secretary Kristi Noem made an unannounced visit to Israel 🇮🇱 at the request of President Donald Trump
The attack, which occurred outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., resulted in the deaths of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrm, both respected members of the Israeli diplomatic corps. The violent act shocked both nations and drew swift condemnation from global leaders.
During her visit, Secretary Noem met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and attended a solemn memorial ceremony at Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The service, hosted by Minister Gideon Sa’ar, honored the lives and service of the fallen diplomats.
In a powerful statement at the ceremony, Secretary Noem declared, “Hate will not have the last word.” Her remarks underscored the gravity of the attack and the deepening alliance between the United States and Israel in the face of terror.
“This is more than humanitarian,” Secretary Noem said. “This speaks to our shared values and unwavering commitment to protect democratic ideals and human life.”
The Trump administration’s swift response and the personal involvement of Secretary Noem were praised by both American and Israeli officials as a testament to the enduring bond between the two nations.
Condolences continue to pour in from around the world for the families of Lischinsky and Milgrm, whose service and sacrifice will not be forgotten.
