Florida Leaders Yehuda Kaploun and Mark Rosenberg Seen with U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi at Scene of Washington, D.C. Tragedy

Washington, D.C. — In the wake of Wednesday night’s tragic shooting that claimed the lives of two Israeli Embassy staff members, prominent Florida figures were seen at the scene offering support and coordination.

Yehuda Kaploun, Florida’s Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism—appointed by former President Donald Trump—joined Chaplain Mark Rosenberg, a respected law enforcement chaplain and director of Chessed Shel Emes in Florida, near the site of the attack.

The two were seen in conversation with former U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, who was also present in the area following the incident.

Kaploun and Rosenberg’s presence underscores the gravity of the tragedy and the national and international concern surrounding the event, which authorities are investigating as a possible hate crime.

Chaplain Rosenberg has been active in ensuring that the remains of the victims are handled in accordance with Jewish law, a role his organization is known for in crisis situations.

The gathering of these leaders reflects a united front across faith, law enforcement, and government communities as they respond to an act of violence that has deeply shaken many in the Jewish and diplomatic communities.

Federal authorities continue to investigate the motive and circumstances surrounding the attack.
