Abbas promises Netanyahu 'any help required'
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke Saturday with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who expressed his condolences to the people of Israel over the Carmel wildfire and said he would give Israel any help required.
During the conversation, which was defined by the Prime Minister's Office as "warm and friendly," Netanyahu said that "neighbors should always help each other." He added that he had decided to set up a lineup of fire extinguishing planes, which would also serve Israel's neighboring countries and the Palestinian Authority in times of need.
