The hearts and prayers of Israel’s people are with the people of the United States, and the many millions who are suffering in the regional devastation resulting from hurricane Katrina. Israel is prepared to assist in any way it can to alleviate the suffering and will make available all necessary resources to this end. We are now in discussions within our own government and with US officials at local and national levels to see how best we can provide assistance. America has always been there for Israel and Israel is there for America. Israel’s Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom sent a letter to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice expressing our condolences and offering assistance. Ambassador Daniel Ayalon discussed the situation with Under Secretary Nick Burns, Homeland Security and FEMA officials and is reaching out to Members of Congress, governors and other local government officials. |
