A Chicago man, Elias Rodriguez, has been charged with the fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy staff members outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington. Prosecutors announced that Rodriguez faces counts of first-degree murder and hate crimes, and could potentially face the death penalty if convicted. Authorities allege Rodriguez was motivated by anti-Israel sentiment, citing his statements and writings referencing Palestine and Gaza. The victims, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, were engaged and worked for the Israeli embassy. Officials emphasized the seriousness of anti-Semitic violence and vowed to address such hate crimes.
