Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem met with Israeli officials in Jerusalem on Sunday following the killings of two Israeli Embassy staff members in Washington, D.C., last week. Noem said in a post on social platform X that after the shooting outside the Capital Jewish Museum on Wednesday, President Trump asked her to travel to the Middle Eastern country to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “Hate will not have the last word,” she said.
A release from the prime minister’s office showed Netanyahu meeting with Noem, saying that the Cabinet official expressed “unwavering support” for him and Israel. It also stated that Noem showed appreciation for Netanyahu’s policy of building a face along the border with Egypt and his handling of the war with Hamas in Gaza.
The release states that others involved in the meeting were Netanyahu’s military secretary, foreign policy adviser and spokesperson and the U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee. Earlier in the day, Netanyahu met with Nevada Sen. Jacky Rosen (D), according to the release.
The meetings came after the shootings of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, both staffers at the embassy who were said to be getting engaged soon. The suspect in their deaths is a 31-year-old man from Chicago who police said yelled “Free, free Palestine” as he was arrested. He is facing five charges, including first-degree murder. The attack is being investigated as a possible hate crime.
