Prime Minister Naftali Bennett speaks to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and offers his sympathies in the wake of the tower collapse in Surfside that left four dead and 159 missing.
“The United States is our greatest friend, and we stand by your side at this difficult time,” Bennett says to DeSantis, according to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office.
“We all pray for the safety of the wounded. I have instructed all parts of the Israeli government to assist in any way that may be required,” Bennett says.
The call comes after the Defense Ministry announces the IDF is sending a search and rescue team to help in the efforts.
