Shots in Washington
Embassy staff killed in the USA had a German passport
A fatality of the shots on Israeli embassy employees was German and was committed to the relationships between the two countries. He is said to have grown up in Bavaria.
One of the two shot employees of the Israeli embassy in Washington had German citizenship. “The male victim had a German passport,” it said from Berlin’s diplomatic circles. “Tagesspiegel” and “Spiegel” had previously reported.
On Wednesday evening (local time), two employees of the embassy of Israel in Washington, a man and a woman, were shot near the Jewish Museum of the US capital. A 30 -year -old man from Chicago was caught as a suspected perpetrator. After the arrest, he is said to have chanted a propalestinian slogan (“Free, Free Palestine”).
The Federal Police FBI examines the case as a possible hate crime. Both US President Donald Trump and Foreign Minister Marco Rubio wrote an anti-Semitic background on social media.
German-Israeli Society: grew up in Bavaria
The German-Israeli Society (DIG) in Berlin announced that the shot man was founding member of the youth forum of the sister organization of Israeli-German society. This networked young Israelis and Germans together. He grew up in parts in Bavaria and spoke fluently German, it said. In 2022 he took over a job at the Israeli embassy in Washington.
The President of Dig, Volker Beck, continued to share the shot embassy employee: “We are reminiscent of him as open-minded, clever and deeply committed people, whose interest in German-Israeli relationships and paths to peaceful coexistence in the Middle East radiated to his entire environment.”
