In one of the many calls he has made to thank leaders around the world for their assistance in battling the inferno in Northern Israel, Israeli Prime Minister Binyomin Netanyahu thanks Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin for his country’s help.
Netanyahu has spoken with 30 heads of state over the the last three days and says he finds the mobilization heartwarming. There is “no shame” in receiving help, said Netanyahu. “It is part of our existence in a global village…. We both receive and extend assistance.”
