Israel recently marked 25 years since the Hamas suicide bombing at Jerusalem's Sbarro pizzeria on August 9, 2001, which killed 16 civilians, including seven children and a pregnant woman, and injured approximately 130 others. The Israeli Foreign Ministry stated that "the ones that carried out this massacre still celebrate terrorism and continue to target Israeli civilians." U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee also commemorated the American victims, including Judith Greenbaum, Chana Nachenberg, and Malka Roth, reaffirming Washington's commitment to "bringing every last fugitive of this heinous act to justice."
- Attack planner Ahlam Tamimi, who lives in Jordan, was charged by the United States in 2013 and is on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists list.
- Jordan has declined to extradite Tamimi despite a 1995 U.S.-Jordan extradition treaty.
- Malka Roth's father, Arnold Roth, expressed feeling abandoned in the effort to bring Tamimi to justice, calling the lack of decisive U.S. action "a failure of American values and a failure of the professed commitment to justice."
- The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations plans to urge Secretary of State Marco Rubio to prioritize Tamimi’s extradition.
