Gesher, together with the Jewish people all over the world, mourns the tragic deaths of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, two dedicated employees of the Israeli Embassy in the U.S. We stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Washington D.C. and throughout the United States. Our CEO Ilan Geal Dor offered the following statement: Our hearts are with the families of the victims, with the local Jewish community, and with all the people of Israel. The horrific event in Washington is a painful reminder of the shared destiny of the Jewish people—both in Israel and around the world. The war we have been facing over the past year and a half is not only Israel’s war; it is a war of the entire Jewish people against those who seek our destruction. Islamist terror does not distinguish between Israelis and Jews in the Diaspora. What happens in Israel directly impacts our brothers and sisters across the globe. That is why we must all stand together, united on the front lines in the fight against terror and hatred—as one. Especially now, when darkness seeks to extinguish light, we must choose unity. We must strengthen one another, support Jewish communities around the world, and build bridges of solidarity and mutual responsibility. #amyisraelchai #amyisraeltogetherforever (fb)
