30,000 attend funeral for lone soldier Max Steinberg
More than 30,000 people attended the funeral Wednesday for fellow lone soldier Max Steinberg, who was laid to rest on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem. The overwhelming support for the 24-year-old Californian native followed online drives urging Israelis to attend his funeral.
US Secretary of State John Kerry expressed "profound gratitude" Wednesday to the Israelis who spontaneously lined Jerusalem's streets for Steinberg's funeral procession. "That's a remarkable statement - we're very grateful," he said.
