Israel has yet to respond to PA offer to send firefighting teams

More than three hours after the PA has offered to send firefighting teams to help extinguish the fires, Israel hasn’t responded to the offer.

There may be good reasons to refuse the PA request, such as a preference to let the PA keep its forces ready in case the fires spread into the West Bank. However, Israel hasn’t answered at all.
