Two staff members of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC, were shot and killed on Wednesday evening near the Jewish Museum, in an incident described by Israeli officials as an act of anti-Semitic terrorism.

The meeting’s focus on South Africa was briefly interrupted when Trump was asked about the Pentagon formally accepting a donated Boeing 747 from Qatar.

The shooting unfolded as the victims were leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum.
