00:02Foreign Minister Gedun Saar will give a Hebrew statement, followed by an English one.
00:09Yaron Lishinsky and Saralin Milikam, two young representatives of the State of Israel,
00:17were murdered a few hours ago in a horrific terrorist attack in Washington.
00:24My condolences go to their families and to the staff of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C.
00:32And Jews around the world that has been going on since the October 7th massacre.
00:39I have been worried for the past few months that something like this would happen.
00:47And it did.
00:49And the list of fallen Foreign Service members has grown today.
00:54This is the direct result of toxic anti-Semitic incitement against Israel and Jews around the world that has been going on since the October 7th massacre.
01:15Recently, we have witnessed an unprecedented wave of terror attacks and attempts against Israeli missions around the world with an emphasis on Europe.
01:28There is a direct line connecting anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli incitement to this murder.
01:43This incitement is also done by leaders and officials of many countries and international organizations, especially from Europe.
01:55The words are the modern blood libels.
02:04These libels about genocide, crimes against humanity and murdering babies paved the way exactly for such murders.
02:14This is what happens when leaders in the world surrender to the Palestinian terrorist propaganda and serve it.
02:27The statements and attacks blame Israel instead of Hamas.
02:33Hamas started the war on October 7th, is solely responsible for the war's continuation and is solely responsible for the suffering of Israelis and Palestinians alike.
02:48I say today to these leaders and officials, stop your assignment against Israel.
02:55Stop your false accusations.
02:58Strengthen Israel in its historic battle against excess of evil in the Middle East.
