Families of kidnapped Israeli teens meet for first time

The distraught families of three Israeli teens kidnapped in the West Bank last week came together for the first time Tuesday.

“We want to embrace our children,” Rachel Frenkel, mother of Naftali Frenkel, 16, told the Jerusalem Post.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with the anxious families and assured them Israel is doing everything possible to find Frenkel, Eyal Yifrah, 19, and Gilad Shaar, 16.
