The Israeli ambassador to the U.S. decided not to participate in a vigil in Washington, DC on Tuesday for the six hostages murdered by Hamas after his request to speak at the event was denied, four sources with direct knowledge told Axios.
Why it matters: The unusual incident reflects the growing rift between the majority of the families of hostages being held by Hamas in Gaza and the Netanyahu government.
