The Israeli government on Thursday sent a message of hope and support to the people of Los Angeles who are fighting massive wildfires that have destroyed entire areas of the city.
Wildfires broke out in Pacific Palisades and Pasadena on Tuesday. Much of the Palisades was destroyed within 24 hours. The fire has since spread to other parts of the city, and many thousands of people have been evacuated.
Israeli government spokesman David Menser said, “Everyone in Israel … is remarkably affected and shaken by the shocking scenes of these wildfires that have taken control in Los Angeles.”
Asked by Breitbart News what Israel and the Israeli people can share with the people of Los Angeles, given Israel’s recent and ongoing recovery from tragic and devastating events, Menser spoke about “resilience and rebuilding. ” Presented the idea.
Quoting Plato, who is said to have inspired the adage that “necessity is the mother of invention,” Menser said: “It is the phrase of creation that drives this country forward… our There is a determination to move forward here.”
On Israel’s side, he assured Angelenos that they can take advantage of “the close relationship between Israel and America – and there are no two closer countries.”
He added: “I am sure…that by God’s grace, you will see brighter days even in these times.”
