Israel accuses European countries of 'incitement' after US embassy shootings
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar accused European governments of incitement against his country on Thursday after the fatal shooting of two embassy staffers in Washington.
"There is a direct line connecting anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli incitement to this murder," Saar told a press conference. "This incitement is also done by leaders and officials of many countries and international organizations, especially from Europe."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he has ordered enhanced security measures at Israeli diplomatic missions worldwide after a gunman who shouted "free Palestine" shot dead the two embassy staffers outside a Jewish museum in Washington.
"I have instructed to enhance security arrangements at Israeli missions around the world and to increase protection for state representatives," he said.
"We are witnessing the terrible price of anti-Semitism and the wild incitement against the State of Israel."
