Israel sends aid for Brazil mine disaster

None

Israel says it's sending a mission to Brazil to help in rescue operations and provide aid after the collapse of a dam holding back mining waste.

 

A statement Saturday by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office says the mission will leave within 24 hours.

 

Netanyahu made the help offer during a call with Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who has been an enthusiastic ally of Israel.
