Netanyahu Praises Israeli Mission Assisting Earthquake Victims in Venezuela

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke live with the commander of the Israeli delegation in Venezuela, Brigadier General Elad Adri, and Israel's designated ambassador to Mexico, Yoed Magen. The conversation took place amid the delegation's ongoing efforts over the past ten days to aid earthquake victims across several affected regions in Venezuela. The mission focuses on assessing and classifying damaged buildings to support recovery and reconstruction.

Netanyahu commended the delegation's unique role, highlighting that they are not only helping rebuild physical structures but also restoring diplomatic relations with Venezuela, which severed ties with Israel nearly two decades ago. He emphasized the importance of maintaining connections with Israel, stating, "You are proving how valuable it is to be connected with Israel."

The Prime Minister praised the delegation's professionalism and dedication, noting that Israeli rescue and aid teams have assisted numerous countries worldwide. He concluded by expressing pride in the team, saying, "We did not ask questions about who or what; we asked, 'What needs to be done to help?' and you went out with your excellent delegation, representing us with pride."
