"I am deeply saddened by the death of the three Israeli teens, one of whom was also an American citizen. There is substantial evidence that this murder is the responsibility of Hamas. We must bring to justice, not only the murderers, but their commanders. Earlier this month, I attended a press conference with my colleagues on the Foreign Affairs Committee calling for the safe release of these boys. We met with family of Israeli-American teen Naftali Frenkel. My deepest sympathies go out to the all the families and loved ones of the three boys."
