A 28-year-old U.S.-German citizen was arrested at John F. Kennedy International Airport for allegedly attempting to destroy a branch office of the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv, Israel, federal prosecutors report.

What We Know: Stated in a complaint unsealed today at the federal courthouse in Brooklyn, Neumayer arrived in Israel in April 2025 – he arrived outside the embassy branch office on May 19.

On that same day, Neumeyer posted on his Facebook account "join me this afternoon in Tel Aviv we are burning down the US. embassy," the complaint alleges. Neumeyer’s social media accounts also contained posts that called for the assassination of President Donald Trump. 

Neumeyer spat on an Embassy guard as he walked past, who attempted to detain him; breaking free, Neumeyer abandoned a backpack he had been carrying, which contained three rudimentary Molotov cocktails.
