💨 Abstract

On Wednesday, two Israeli embassy staff members were fatally shot outside a Jewish museum in Washington. The suspect, Elias Rodriguez, was arrested after shouting "Free, free Palestine." The incident was described as an antisemitic attack and occurred amid rising tensions and humanitarian crises in the Middle East, particularly Gaza. The victims were reported to be a young couple, one American and one Israeli, who worked at the embassy. The U.S. authorities are investigating the case, while Israeli officials condemned the attack.
