The official, who is familiar with the investigation, said Friday that the U.S. Ambassador Dan Shapiro was notified that the teen was missing.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity as he wasn’t authorized to publicly brief journalists about the matter.
Israeli soldiers searched the West Bank on Friday to find three missing Israeli teenagers after one called police claiming they had been kidnapped.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed the Palestinian Authority for their disappearance without elaborating, saying he held the government responsible for their safety. Palestinian authorities could not be reached for comment and no one immediately claimed responsibility for the teens’ possible abduction.
I just phoned the White House. I mentioned my belief that recognizing a Hamas government empowered this cat.
Pray that the USA again uses all efforts to save the lives of victims including an American citizen.

I’m not saying that we shouldn’t be doing prisoner exchanges. No-one knows what is the right thing to do. But as long as those horrible arabs know that we will be doing them, these kidnappings will continue to occur. Also, with our wonderful president so obviously sympathetic to arabs, they know that nothing will really be done to them.
Do we know they were kidnapped for sure? Not perhaps gone missing of their own accord, or other unfortunate circumstances?
We pray that they all return speedily & safely.
The US has to step in on this one and they have to step in with force. This is a US citizen, a child of US taxpayers and the government owes them a duty to protect them. Harsh action must be taken
I don’t know why they are looking at a map do they really think they will find them somewhere on the map? ?? They have to go outside and look for them ..
And these are our leaders ..what kind of people are in charge..
even I know better. .
