Like its companion measure in the Senate (S. 2577 of 7/9/14), This bill would authorize the secretary of state to offer up to $5 m. to any individual with information that leads to the arrest or conviction of the perpetrators of the kidnapping and subsequent killing of 3 Israeli settler teenagers on 6/12/14. The 3 were abducted while hitchhiking home from school in the Gush Etzion settlement bloc near Hebron and their bodies subsequently found on 6/30, approximately 15 miles from where they were last seen. (See the Quarterly Update in JPS 173 for more on the kidnappings and their aftermath.)
