In a post on Twitter, US Ambassador to Israel David Freidman thanked the parents of Gilad Shaar who was one of three boys murdered by terrorists in 2014, for their gift of a painting, writing:
"Bat Galim & Ofir Shaar gave me today a stirring drawing in memory of their son Gilad & his friends Naftali Fraenkel & Eyal Yifrach — kidnapped & murdered by Palestinian terrorists in 2014. It hangs in my office in Jerusalem. Never forget these boys or the grief of their families."
