Recipient: Kutlu Aktaş, Minister of the Interior, Republic of Turkey
The State of Israel has been monitoring the recent developments in the media and on social media of an earthquake in the city of Düzce, we have tasked the Israel Meteorological Service to monitor developments and will share any information and developments with the relevant Turkish government department. I know relations between our two countries are at a sour point but we're still close neighbours in the Middle Eastern region and I'm sure deep down, we want the best for the civilian population regardless of relations between our two countries. I am able to offer the support of Magen David Adom which is Israel's national emergency medical, disaster, ambulance and blood bank service and I have spoken to the relevant authorities who have said we can deploy a contingency of twenty five employees to Turkey to assist your medical services in a variety of roles.
Regards,
Tzachi Hanegbi
Minister of Regional Cooperation
State of Israel
