Congressman Gregory W. Meeks Statement On The Deaths Of Naftali Fraenkel, Eyal Yifrach, and Gilad Shaar

I am deeply saddened by the devastating loss of Naftali Fraenkel, Eyal Yifrach, and Gilad Shaar whose bodies were discovered yesterday by Israeli officials. My thoughts and prayers go out to the affected families. The gruesome deaths of these innocent teens must never be forgotten, and the perpetrators of such heinous acts must be brought to justice. Whenever young and fruitful lives are brutally cut short, we are all diminished. I solemnly join in mourning the loss of these young men and in hoping for a day when peace prevails in the region.
