HeadlineMay 22, 2025

In Washington, D.C., police have arrested a suspect in the shooting death of two Israeli Embassy employees late Wednesday. Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, who were a couple, were exiting the Capital Jewish Museum when 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez of Chicago allegedly opened fire on them. Video of the aftermath shows Rodriguez shouting “Free Palestine!” as he’s led away in handcuffs. After headlines, we’ll go to Tel Aviv to speak with the Israeli journalist Gideon Levy.
