Trump ramps up antisemitism crackdown following killings of Israeli Embassy staffers

On May 22, two employees of the Israeli diplomatic mission, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, were fatally shot outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC.
The shooting was committed by Elias Rodriguez, who was arrested after chanting pro-Palestinian slogans, amid a marked rise in antisemitic incidents in the United States.
Following the killings, President Trump expressed deep sorrow during a call with Prime Minister Netanyahu and reaffirmed plans to intensify efforts against antisemitism, especially on university campuses.
Trump administration officials announced lawsuits against universities failing to protect Jewish students and vowed to increase law enforcement presence, deport antisemitic foreign students, and withhold federal funding.
The deaths have heightened fears around antisemitism nationwide, prompting intensified diplomatic dialogue on related security issues and calls for stronger anti-hate measures to prevent further violence.
