Following the brutal shooting of a young couple outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., the Israeli ambassador to the U.S. is calling attention to a "very important" larger issue both in America and on the global stage.Two Israeli Embassy staffers, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, were shot while leaving a Jewish event, after which the suspected shooter, identified the shooter as 31-year-old Elias Rodriguez from Chicago, yelled, "Free, free Palestine!" and security officers apprehended him.The chant echoed those slogans proclaimed at protests across American college campuses, which Amb. Yechiel Leiter labeled "an eliminationist demand for the elimination of Israel" on "Special Report" Thursday."The big picture is very important for us to understand," the Israeli ambassador to the United States said. "Free, free Palestine is actually what he said. Free, free Palestine is part of the chant that was heard across universities all across the country, and it included the chant, 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free, which is basically an eliminationist demand for the elimination of Israel. That's what's going on. Hamas tried to do on October 7."ISRAELI EMBASSY STAFFERS KILLED OUTSIDE DC JEWISH MUSEUM IDENTIFIED AS COUPLE SET TO BE ENGAGEDLeiter argued that Rodriguez's use of the "Free, free Palestine!" chant shows he allegedly believed "he's going to implement it, the eliminationist policy regarding Israel, by shooting Jews here in Washington."Rodriguez has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder, murder of a foreign official, causing the death of a person through the use of a firearm, and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence.The shooting comes as tensions over Israels operations in the Gaza Strip have drastically escalated this week amid growing humanitarian concerns, though it is not the first time since the war broke out following the deadly Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel that its D.C. embassy has been a target.WHO IS THE ANTI-ISRAEL SUSPECT IN THE KILLING OF 2 ISRAELI EMBASSY STAFFERS?Pro-Palestinian sentiment has grown in the United States, as a result of the ongoing war in Israel instigated by the Oct. 7 attacks. While the Trump administration has been cracking down on antisemitism, particularly on college campuses, Leiter criticized world leaders for "fueling" anti-Israel sentiment."If we're talking about the big picture, the outrage here is that we have international leaders like the president of France, Macron, who's trying to press for an immediate recognition of a Palestinian state, as if the response to October 7 should be to call it Palestine Liberation Day," Leiter told Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier."So he's fueling these chants of the likes of this Elias Rodriguez."Although charges were announced less than 24 hours after the crime occurred, the crime will be investigated as a hate crime and act of terrorism. Interim U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C. Jeanine Pirro noted that additional charges may come as the evidence warrants during a press conference Thursday.Rodriguez appeared in court on Thursday afternoon, where he had an attorney appointed. The judge advised him that he could be punished by life or death.Pirro said Rodriguez waived his right to a detention hearing and conceded to detention.

Amanda Johnson, a Marine spouse and homeschooling mother of five with two sets of twins and a newborn, is speaking out after months of what she calls stonewalling by the U.S. military medical establishment.Her family's upcoming move abroad has been put on hold because their children have not received all the recommended vaccinations despite the Navy's policy stating theyre not required. The Marine Corps is interdependent with the Navy for logistical support and medical services through Navy Medical, a sister service in the military.In an Instagram post by Johnson to her nearly 15,000 followers, one popular commentator summarized the family's situation, writing, "The dark irony of military families being stripped of their freedoms in exchange for their fathers sacrifice protecting American freedoms shameful."REP. SARA JACOBS: MILITARY FAMILIES DESERVE IVF COVERAGE AND TRUMPS SUPPORTThat post has gone viral among military communities, drawing attention from other spouses, advocacy groups and even congressional offices."We were told that our children are not suitable solely based on their vaccination status," Johnson told Fox News Digital. "Even after my husband sent a prevention letter explaining our health plan overseas, they still denied us."Official Navy policy under BUMEDINST 1300.2B is clear: "Family members are not required to be immunized."Similarly, TRICARE, healthcare for uniformed service members, explicitly states that "vaccination status is not reviewed as part of the TRICARE overseas enrollment screening process." And the Johnsons destination, Peru, does not require any vaccinations for entry or residence.FORMER AIR FORCE MAJOR WHO DEFIED BIDEN VACCINE MANDATE SPEAKS OUT, APPLAUDS HEGSETH"We're not breaking any rules. Peru doesnt require vaccines, and Navy policy doesnt either," Johnson said. "Weve done everything right, but, still, were stuck."My husbands chain of command supports us and keeps asking, Who do we need to call? But theres no one. No officer has ever called us from Navy Medical. We havent worked with a single point of contact on our case."Marine Capt. Hunter Johnson, Amandas husband, wrote a detailed prevention and medical readiness letter to Navy Medical Jacksonville, outlining the measures his family takes to maintain their childrens health."Our children have not been, and will not be, enrolled in childcare. My wife is fully devoted to their daily care," he wrote. "We homeschool using Time4Learning and limit exposure to institutional illness risks."Peru has no vaccination requirements... My continued presence is essential to our familys stability. This is not a deployment, its a PCS [permanent change of station]."Despite that, Amanda Johnson says Navy Medical Jacksonville denied the package and falsely claimed last month it had been sent to Naval Medical Atlantic Region for final review.The stress has deeply affected their family. Johnson shared that her husband delayed his paternity leave to avoid being recycled through his language course."He went back to work five days after I had our fifth baby. Now, during his leave, instead of relaxing, hes chasing paperwork and dealing with this nightmare," she said.Theyve already secured housing in Peru and booked an Airbnb near Los Angeles International Airport as they prepare for their flight."They told us, You can push out your orders, but thats absolutely not an option. Were not going to be punished because Navy cant get it together," she said.The family filed a congressional inquiry through the office of Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio. Johnson also confirmed that the office of Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, reached out after seeing her story on Instagram."My husband had a phone call with them and explained everything. Im not from Texas, but they saw the post and wanted to help," she said. "Its a big, big mess."Johnson said she isnt just asking for her own family to be cleared. She wants reform."I want whoever denied our package to be held accountable. There should be consequences. The policy is clear, and theyre ignoring it," she said. "No doctor in the Navy should be allowed to declare a child unsuitable for travel just because of their vaccine status. That needs to end."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPShe said she hopes her story sparks wider change."Vaccination status is no ones business, especially for dependents. I hope the Navy stops asking altogether unless the host country requires it. Were being punished for nothing."The Department of the Navy did not immediately respond to Fox News Digitals request for comment.

Veteran Democratic campaign strategist James Carville advised the new chairman of Arizonas Democratic Party to "shut up" or start a new progressive party.The Democratic Party has been struggling to re-define itself since the election, as leaders debate over whether to moderate or double-down on far-left identity politics. Carville, a frequent critic of some of the party's more progressive members, noted that the Democratic Party is doing unusually well in the red state of Arizona, where they have a Democratic governor and two Democratic senators. However, he warned that far-left politics and in-fighting may endanger this rare opportunity.Carville read from a recent New York Times article, headlined, "A Vulnerable Governor and an Intraparty Feud Signal a Bumpy Road for Democrats." The Times reported that Arizaona Democratic chairman Robert Branscomb had been "clashing with staff members over personnel decisions and accused them of sabotaging him by withholding financial documents." The article also claimed Branscomb, "wrote to party members detailing the infighting and attacking Senators Ruben Gallego and Mark Kelly, both Democrats, for criticizing one of his staffing choices."Carville praised Kelly and Gallego, arguing to Branscomb, "You ain't been elected to s---. So why don't you shut up?"JAMES CARVILLE SUGGESTS 'SPLIT' WITH THE LEFT OVER 'PRONOUN POLITICS'He went on to argue in his video posted to the Politicon YouTube channel, "that's the problem with this, these people from the progressive whatever the f--- that is, that come into these state parties that didn't do anything that have outstanding Democratic elected officials. He's fighting with the governor. We finally have a Democratic governor, and this guy exemplifies to me what's wrong with that wing of the party."He noted one quote attributed to Branscomb, where he reportedly declared, "I will not be coerced, and I will not be silenced," and offered a barbed response."Well why don't you just shut up anyway? Because you haven't gotten elected to anything. And why don't you pay attention and work for the people that are out there who are not just trying to win elections but are actually winning elections?" Carville asked.Carville argued this is part of a larger problem, sharing another purported example in Nevada, in which he called "one of the most successful state parties in the history of the United States," until the majority women state legislature took command of the party and turned "it into a useless glob of nothing."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"You got one goal, dude, that's to win elections, not run your jackass mouth, which is all this guy Branscomb is good for," Carville said.He suggested that Democrats need to confront these members of the progressive wing of their party and propose an important question.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"They need to really consider whether they're Democrats or not," he said. "Maybe they ought to go join the pronoun justice social, I don't know, equity party or whatever theyre doing."Carville continued, "When you don't respect people who go out and win elections and work and put their names out front and dare to lose then there's no use for you in Democratic politics. That's my view."The Arizona Democratic Party didn't immediately respond to a request for a comment.
