Diaspora Affairs Minister Nachman Shai says Israel is ready to help the Jewish community of Surfside with psychological support in the wake of the collapse of a residential tower in the Florida town.

“It is one of the great disasters of the United States in recent years,” Shai tells the Kan public broadcaster. “The United States does not necessarily need help from Israel, but if the community needs care for post-trauma, we have unique experience in this and we can help.”
