Hungary stands shocked in front of the cold-bolded killing of Israeli teenagers Eyal Yifrach, aged 19, Naftali Frenkel, 16, and Gil-Ad Shaer, 16, following their kidnapping on June 12, the foreign ministry said on Monday.

"We condemn in the strongest terms this heinous crime, no matter who committed it and by what motivation," the ministry said in a statement.

The lives of the three young men were lost to those who undermine understanding between Israelis and Palestinians. Their deaths denied them their basic human rights and a vision of peace, the statement said.

Hungary stands by the families of the young victims and the people of Israel, it added.
