Buenos Aires mayor identifies with Israeli teens as former kidnapping victim

Of the foreign mayors from around the globe who signed a letter condemning the kidnapping of yeshiva students Gil-Ad Shaer, Eyal Yifrah, and Naftali Fraenkel, one mayor could identify with the anguish of both the victims and their families.

Mauricio Macri, the Mayor of Buenos Aires, and the son of one of Argentina’s wealthiest businessmen, was kidnapped in 1991 and held in captivity for 14 days until his father paid a multi-million dollar ransom.
