U.S. Rep. Gregory W. Meeks: I Add My Voice to Those in Israel, the United States and Around the World Who are Calling for the Immediate and

Safe Release of Kidnapped Israeli Teenagers

WASHINGTON, D.C.--Congressman Gregory Meeks (NY-05) a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, today made the following statement calling for the release of kidnapped Israeli teenagers:

“Today, I add my voice to those in Israel, the United States and around the world who are calling for the immediate and safe release of Naftali Fraenkel, a dual Israeli-American citizen, Gilad Shaar; and Eyal Yifrach, three West Bank yeshiva students kidnapped on their way home six days ago. As a parent, I can’t imagine the anxiety and fear that the families of these young men must be enduring. These innocent teens must be set free and returned to their families now. Let no stone be unturned. Kidnapping of these youngsters is a provocation against the peace process which also undermines the credibility and sincerity of the Palestinian reconciliation government. Those responsible for their abduction must be held accountable.” [End]
