The Prime Minister, my right hon. Friend Mr Cameron, issued a statement on 30 June, following the discovery of the missing Israeli teenagers saying that his prayers and thoughts were with the families of the teenagers. Our ambassador to Israel, Matthew Gould, attended the funeral.

The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Richmond (Yorks) (Mr Hague), expressed his deepest sympathies to the families and to all Israelis as they mourned this sad loss.
