The Prime Minister, my right hon. Friend the Member for Witney (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.
