Joining our partners, I can confirm that today FBI agents arrested Joseph Neumayer, a dual U.S. and German citizen, on allegations of planning to firebomb the United States Embassy in Tel Aviv, Israel — as well as threats made against President Trump’s life on social media.
Neumayer was arrested earlier this week in Israel — when Embassy officials discovered a backpack carrying multiple explosive devices and a social media account allegedly linked to Neumayer detailing intent to attack the Embassy and threatening President Trump.
Israel returned him to the U.S. as of this morning, where our special agents arrested him at John F. Kennedy airport.
He will now face justice.
Thank you to our agents, intelligence teams, and partners both at home and around the world for your work in this case.
