The perpetrator of a Molotov cocktail attack on Jewish protesters in 2025 in Colorado, USA, was sentenced to life in prison on Thursday, as reported by local media. Mohamed Sabry Soliman, a 46-year-old Egyptian, pleaded guilty to killing one person and injuring 13 others on June 1, 2025, in Boulder, by throwing Molotov cocktails at protesters demanding the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. He also sprayed gasoline on the protesters.

An 82-year-old woman, Karen Diamond, died from her injuries. “Our mother endured indescribable pain for over three weeks before succumbing to her injuries,” her sons, Andrew and Ethan Diamond, stated in a declaration read by local prosecutor Michael Dougherty, cited by the Denver Post.

District court judge Nancy Salomone specified that the defendant would be imprisoned without the possibility of parole. She added over 2,000 years to the sentence, the maximum possible for all charges brought against him.

Attacks following October 7: “You chose to target victims who were peacefully gathered,” she told him. “You chose them because they were members of the Jewish community.” The man is also facing federal charges for hate crime, which could result in the death penalty.

Investigators stated that the defendant showed no remorse during questioning. “He said he wanted them all to die. He had no regret and said he would do it again if given the chance,” a state prosecutor declared to the press.

Multiple assaults targeting Jews occurred in the US and elsewhere following the events of October 7, 2023, when Hamas commandos killed over 1,200 people in Israel, mostly civilians.

Trump’s travel ban: The Boulder attack occurred less than two weeks after the deaths of two Israeli embassy employees in the US, killed in front of a Jewish museum in Washington by a 31-year-old suspect who shouted a pro-Palestinian slogan during his arrest.

The events in Colorado were cited by former US President Donald Trump to justify his decision to ban nationals from 12 countries from entering the US to “protect” the country from “foreign terrorists.”

Mohamed Sabry Soliman’s ex-wife and their five children were placed in a detention center until last April, before federal court ordered their release. Authorities attempted to arrest them again for deportation, but the judges blocked the attempt.
