Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks to the head of the IDF aid delegation to Turkey and commends him on the team’s efforts.

“You are carrying out the most important humanitarian work and are bringing great honor to the State of Israel, and showing our true face to the world,” Netanyahu tells Col. (res) Golan Vach via phone. “Do whatever you can to save lives, and stay safe.”

Vach says that Israeli rescuers have so far pulled four people out alive from the rubble and are working to save two more at the moment.
