KIDNAPPING OF THREE ISRAELI TEENAGERS CONDEMNED BY U.S.

FROM:  U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT 

U.S. Condemns Kidnapping of Three Israeli Teenagers

Press Statement
John Kerry
Secretary of State
Washington, DC
June 15, 2014


The United States strongly condemns the kidnapping of three Israeli teenagers and calls for their immediate release. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families. We hope for their quick and safe return home.  We continue to offer our full support for Israel in its search for the missing teens, and we have encouraged full cooperation between the Israeli and Palestinian security services.  We understand that cooperation is ongoing.

We are still seeking details on the parties responsible for this despicable terrorist act, although many indications point to Hamas’ involvement.  As we gather this information, we reiterate our position that Hamas is a terrorist organization known for its attacks on innocent civilians and which has used kidnapping in the past.
