"The National Federation of Republican Women mourns the senseless and tragic murders of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky, two young Israeli Embassy staff members who were gunned down outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., last night. This devastating loss strikes close to our hearts, as NFRW members have had the privilege of knowing Sarah personally through our visits to the Israeli Embassy. Sarah welcomed us with warmth and grace. 

"Sarah and Yaron were more than colleagues they were a loving couple planning to become engaged next week in Jerusalem. Their lives were tragically cut short by an act of pure hatred and antisemitism. This heinous violent attack represents an assault not only on two beautiful souls but on the values of freedom that we cherish. 

"Our hearts and prayers are with the families of Sarah and Yaron, the Israeli Embassy staff, and the entire Jewish community during this time of profound grief. We call upon all Americans to stand united against all antisemitism home and abroad. The National Federation of Republican Women reaffirms our commitment to supporting Israel and fighting antisemitism." 

- NFRW President Julie Harris
