Netanyahu Offers Assistance to Disaster-Struck Lebanon
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu expressed his condolences to the Lebanese people following Tuesday’s deadly blast in Beirut, in the Knesset on Wednesday.
“Yesterday there was a great catastrophe,” he said at the beginning of a speech at the Knesset, before being interrupted by the shouts of opposition MKs. After several moments, he reiterated Israel’s willingness to send humanitarian aid to the disaster-stricken country.
Netanyahu mentioned that Israel has offered aid to Syrians and even to Iran.
