FM says Israel’s dispatchment of rescue mission to Venezuela is ‘humanitarian act’

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar describes Israel’s dispatchment of a delegation to Venezuela to assist with the rescue efforts following the devastating earthquakes here as “a humanitarian act,” noting Jerusalem and Caracas don’t have official diplomatic ties.

“Aid to the people themselves in these difficult moments is not related to politics – this is a humanitarian act,” Sa’ar tells visiting Latin American evangelical leaders, according to a statement from his office.
