Foreign Secretary statement on the death of Daniel Viflic
Statement following the death of 16 year old Daniel Viflic, who had been gravely wounded in an attack by Hamas on an Israeli school bus on 7 April.
Foreign Secretary William Hague said:
“I learned with sorrow of the death today of Daniel Viflic, who had been gravely wounded in the attack by Hamas on an Israeli school bus on 7 April. Daniel was just 16.
“The tragedy of his death is brought home all the more in that it occurs on the eve of Passover, normally a time of celebration for Jewish families all over the world.
“I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to Daniel’s family. And I reiterate my utter abhorrence of the cowardly attack which cost him his life, and my call for an end to all such attacks on innocent civilians”.
