Private Netanyahu Letter Published as Kirk Murder Case Advances

Universities and employers face mounting free‑speech disputes over reactions to the killing.

Overview

  • A May 2 letter published by the New York Post shows Charlie Kirk urging Benjamin Netanyahu to overhaul Israel’s social‑media strategy and affirms his strong support for the Jewish state.
  • The letter is being cited to rebut conspiracy claims that Kirk had distanced himself from Israel, which figures like Bill Ackman and Kirk producer Andrew Kolvet have already denied.
  • Suspect Tyler Robinson, 22, remains in custody on an aggravated murder charge, prosecutors are seeking the death penalty, and the next court hearing is set for Oct. 30.
  • Eyewitnesses and Utah Gov. Spencer Cox urged a return to civil discourse following the shooting, according to CBS News interviews and campus visits.
  • Turning Point USA reports tens of thousands of new chapter inquiries, with coverage noting interest from older conservatives, while academic critics and supporters continue to clash over Kirk’s legacy and speech on campuses.
