UK blasts ‘appalling’ East Jerusalem killing

British Prime Minister David Cameron, and Foreign Secretary William Hague say the slaying of the 16-year-old Arab teenager is “appalling.” He also urges Israel and the Palestinians to exercise restraint as tensions rise.

“It is vital that the people responsible for this crime are held accountable,” Hague says. “I welcome the Israeli government’s commitment to bring those responsible to justice. It is essential to avoid any action that could lead to further loss of innocent life. Recent events reinforce the need to take steps towards a lasting peace.”
