'Act of evil': Christians react to murder of Israeli Embassy staff
6. International Christian Embassy Jerusalem USA
In a statement shared with The Christian Post, Susan Michael of the International Chrisitan Embassy Jerusalem USA brought up her personal connection to one of the victims.
"I met Yaron at the ICEJ Gala in honor of Israel's 75th anniversary. He and his family are cherished friends of ICEJ President, Dr. Juergen Buehler," she stated.
"That his life — and Sarah's — was so senselessly cut short here in our nation's capital is beyond heartbreaking," she stated. "I have worked with the embassy for over 40 years, and never have I witnessed such brazen hatred against the Jewish people. This is not an isolated tragedy — it is part of a dangerous wave of antisemitism that is spreading rapidly and must be confronted with courage and moral clarity. Our prayers are with the families of Yaron and Sarah, and with the entire Israeli diplomatic community."
According to the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem website, the organization was "established in 1980 in recognition of the biblical significance of all of Jerusalem and its unique connection with the Jewish people" and "represents millions of Christians, churches, and denominations to the nation and people of Israel in love, comfort, and support."
