Congressman Bishop released the following statement in response to the murders of three Israeli teens:

"I am terribly saddened to learn that the search for Eyal Yifrah, Gilad Shaar and Naftali Fraenkel has ended in tragedy. These types of senseless killings -- of children, no less -- are unconscionable and the individuals or groups responsible for their murders must be brought to justice. The violence must end, and efforts to restore hope for peace and stability in the Middle East must resume with a renewed sense of urgency."
