U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem on Sunday.

Noem’s visit follows an attack on Thursday in which two members of the Israeli Embassy in Washington were killed.

The two victims were identified as Yaron Lischinsky, an Israeli citizen, and Sarah Milgrim, an American.

They were a young couple about to be engaged, according to Yechiel Leiter, the Israeli ambassador to the U.S.

Those who knew them paid tribute to the pair as warm, vibrant and curious, dedicated to promoting peace and aspiring to bridge cultural and religious divides.

The suspect told police he “did it for Palestine” and due to the war in Gaza.

During her trip to the Middle East, Ms. Noem visited a naval base in Bahrain, where she met with coast guard personnel, served meals and signed autographs.

She also toured the historic Qal’at al-Bahrain Fort on camelback and held a meeting with the country’s king.

On Sunday, she met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
