Chief rabbi says Israel has ‘moral duty’ to help Kurds
Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi David Lau says Israel has a “moral duty” to help the Kurds, who are facing a humanitarian crisis and mass displacement amid Turkish-led military operations against Kurdish fighters.
“It’s our moral duty during this time to help the Kurdsish people as much as possible prevent their annihilation,” Lau told President Reuven Rivlin during a visit to his sukkah according to reports.
Ankara’s assault against Kurdish forces launched last week has prompted a chorus of international condemnation, including from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
