Israel Aids Syrian Kurds
(Ha'aretz) Wilson Fache - In November, Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely told the Knesset, "We identify with the deep distress of the Kurds [in Syria], and we are assisting them through a range of channels." Photos surfaced online of a container full of humanitarian aid, with Israeli flags clearly visible. "We provided them with some support about two months ago - coats for children and babies, as well as medicine," said Gal Lusky, CEO of Israeli Flying Aid. The nonprofit has been providing covert support to Syrian refugees and internally displaced persons since 2011. "It's not the first time we provided help to the Kurds, and more aid delivery is planned," she said.
