Joseph Neumeyer, 28, was detained in Israel after the attack and deported to the United States, where he was arrested on arrival, court documents and a Justice Department statement said.
US Attorney General Pam Bondi said her department would “prosecute this defendant to the fullest extent of the law.”
Neumeyer had traveled to Israel last month, according to statements from the Justice Department and the US attorney’s office in New York.
“Death to America, death to Americans, and f---k the west,“ he wrote, before going to the US diplomatic mission in Tel Aviv -- a branch of the US embassy, which was moved to Jerusalem in 2018.
“Law enforcement recovered from Neumeyer’s backpack several bottles that had been turned into improvised incendiary devices, commonly known as ‘Molotov cocktails’,“ it said.
After being deported to New York on Saturday, he appeared at a federal courthouse in Brooklyn Sunday afternoon, where he was ordered detained pending trial.
“This defendant is charged with planning a devastating attack targeting our embassy in Israel, threatening death to Americans, and President Trump’s life,“ US Attorney General Bondi said.
Two days after Neumeyer’s alleged attempted attack in Tel Aviv, a man shot dead two Israeli embassy staffers outside a Jewish museum in Washington.
The attack was suspected to have been carried out in protest against Israel’s conduct of its war in the Palestinian territory of Gaza.
