Danny Donnon, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, said the event was in the museum and the deadly shooting was “a corrupt act of anti -Semitic terrorism” in a statement published in X late on Wednesday night.

“Harming diplomats and Jewish society crosses a red line. We are confident that the American authorities will take strong measures against those responsible for this criminal act. Israel will continue to act firmly to protect its citizens and representatives – everywhere in the world,” he wrote.
