Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he was shocked by the horrific anti-semitic murder of embassy staff in Washington, his office said in a statement.

Axar.az informs “We are witnessing the terrible price of antisemitism and the wild incitement against the State of Israel. The blood libels against Israel come at the cost of blood, and they must be fought until eradicated," Netanyahu said.

"My heart aches with the families of the beloved young man and woman whose lives were suddenly cut short by a despicable antisemitic murderer.

"I have instructed to strengthen security arrangements at Israeli missions worldwide and to increase protection for state representatives,” he concluded.
