Mohammads family say the teen was abducted by right-wing Israeli Jews seeking revenge for the murder of three Israeli teens kidnapped last month in the West Bank.
In a statement, Netanyahus office said he had spoken with the teenagers father, Hussein Abukhdair, to offer his condolences and express his outrage over the abhorrent murder a day after the security forces confirmed arresting six Jewish extremists on suspicion of involvement.
I would like to express my outrage and that of the citizens of Israel over the reprehensible murder of your son, Netanyahu told him.
We acted immediately to apprehend the murderers. We will bring them to trial and they will be dealt with to the fullest extent of the law, he said.
We denounce all brutal behavior. The murder of your son is abhorrent and cannot be countenanced by any human being.

Netanyahu to Abu Khdeir family: We’ll bring Mohammed’s killers to justice
