Dear A.,
We are outraged and horrified by the terrorist attack that resulted in the murder of two Israeli embassy staff members—Sarah Lynn Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky—last night in Washington, D.C.
Together, we mourn with their family, friends, colleagues at the Israeli Embassy, and the people of Israel, and we stand with our friends at AJC.
We appreciate the dedicated work of law enforcement to apprehend the shooter and appreciate that Attorney General Pam Bondi personally went to the scene.
Since the barbaric Hamas attack of October 7, Israel and the Jewish community throughout the world have confronted increased levels of antisemitic demonization and blood libels.
We are grateful to the multitude of Democrats and Republicans in Congress, and to the Trump administration, who have spoken out in unequivocal support of our community and the people of Israel in the aftermath of this despicable attack. You can find these statements on

condemned the attack and spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today, as did Attorney General Bondi.
"I especially want to thank President Trump and the American people for their forthright stand with Israel and with the Jewish people," Netanyahu

said . "Together we stand. Together we'll triumph and will see the victory of civilization over barbarism."
As we mourn together, we redouble our efforts to work and fight for the security of the Jewish people and the Jewish state. Backed by the conviction, passion, and political will of our community, we will wage this fight with unyielding strength and determination.
May the memories of Yaron and Sarah be a blessing. Am Yisrael Chai.

threatened to "decisively respond" to any Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear program, warning that it will view the United States as a "participant" in any such operation.
The regime also warned that it could move its nuclear material to

secret sites to protect it from a potential strike.
Israel is reportedly preparing for a potential strike on Iran's nuclear facilities should negotiations collapse.
The fifth round of negotiations is set to take place in Rome on Friday. The Trump administration has repeated its red line that any agreement must include the “total dismantlement” of Iran’s nuclear program.
Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer and the director of Israel's Mossad David Barnea

will meet with Special Envoy in Rome tomorrow on the sidelines of the talks to coordinate positions and get briefed immediately after the negotiations.
U.S. contractors to begin distributing aid to Gazan families in new mechanism to circumvent Hamas
The American-led Gaza Humanitarian Foundation will begin distributing food directly to Gazan families on Sunday, in safe zones secured by the IDF.
As part of the new aid delivery mechanism, American security contractors will secure four distribution sites, aiming to provide 300 million meals over a 90-day period, with the first site being secured this weekend.
According to

The Wall Street Journal reported today .
Among the other top operatives killed was Mohammad Shabana, the commander of the terror group’s Rafah brigade.
"Hamas found Sinwar’s body a day after the strike and buried it in a temporary grave in another tunnel after his family was informed, the officials said, confirming Israeli claims that he was likely dead," the WSJ said.
Earlier this week, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz told a closed-door parliamentary meeting that Sinwar was likely killed in the strike, and that he and senior Hamas officials had been operating beneath the European Hospital in Khan Younis.
