The US President Donald Trump has expressed anger over the killing of two Israeli embassy staff which occurred on Wednesday.
Trump expressed his feeling on Thursday on his Truth Social platform that the killings must end, emphasizing that there is no place for violence in the country.
“These horrible D.C. killings, based obviously on antisemitism, must end, NOW!. Hatred and Radicalism have no place in the United State,” he said.
Punch reports that Donald Trump also sent his condolences to the families of the victims.
“Condolences to the families of the victims. So sad that such things as this can happen!,” he said.
The attack took place near the intersection of Third Street and F Street NW, close to Georgetown University Law School and the FBI’s Washington field office.
The Metropolitan Police Department confirmed that a single suspect is in custody. According to Police Chief Pamela Smith, the suspect reportedly shouted “Free Palestine” while being detained.
The victims were identified as staff members of the Israeli Embassy who had been attending an event hosted by the American Jewish Committee at the museum.
