(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Even though Pakistani President Pervez Musharaf called for international assistance to help deal with the massive earthquake that hit his country Saturday, Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom told the cabinet Sunday that Israel's offer of humanitarian aid to both Pakistan and India has as yet gone unanswered. Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said that Israel has let Islamabad know of its willingness to help.
