The victims, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, were a couple about to become engaged, said Israel's ambassador to the U.S., Yechiel Leiter.
The President led U.S. lawmakers in condemning the killings and said they were "based obviously on antisemitism."
Slain staffer Yaron Lischinsky had purchased an engagement ring and was planning to propose to his colleague Sarah Milgrim.
The two embassy employees were killed by a gunman Wednesday night after an event at the Capital Jewish Museum.
