Netanyahu thanks Erdogan for sending firefighting planes
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a Cabinet speech on the disastrous blaze consuming northern Israel and thanked leaders of countries who sent aid to help Israel battle it, including Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
"We must recognize the fact that our firefighting resources cannot provide the proper response to forest fires of the type we have here, especially when accompanied by high winds," he said. (Ynet)
