Yaron Lischinsky, a Christian-Israeli diplomat working at the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC, was killed with his American fiancé, Sarah Lynn Milgrim, who was also employed at the Israeli embassy, which is where they met prior to their pending engagement. Mr. Lischinsky who was born in Germany to a Jewish father and Christian mother, moved to Israel at the age of 16, where he remained a devout practicing Christian.
Miss Milgrim’s parents were not aware that he was intending to propose marriage to their daughter, until after she was murdered, and the Israeli ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter, informed them as such last night.
