President Donald Trump called Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu Thursday to express condolences and his personal shock for the murder of two Israeli embassy personnel in Washington, D.C., Yaron Liszczynski and Sarah Milgrim.

Netanyahu thanked Trump for the efforts he and his administration have made to fight anti-Semitism in the United States.

The shooter Elias Rodriguez targeted an AJC event for young diplomats at the Capital Jewish Museum near the Israeli embassy. This was the first successful assassination of a foreign diplomat in Washington, D.C., since the car-bomb killing of former Chilean diplomat Orlando Letelier in 1976.
