Assistant Secretary Richard meets with Syrian refugees, even as Israel also is helping with aid.[/caption]Leanne Jenkins---While many in the Middle East condemn Israel and its expansion into Palestinian lands, we are now learning that the country is aiding victims of the Syrian War.
The news comes at a time when the Syrian war remains controversial with the hope, however, that Syria will not use chemical weapons again, after meeting the suggestions of Russia to remove chemical weapons from the arsenal for war.
ABC News quotes Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon as saying,"We can't sit by and watch the humanitarian difficulties on the other side," Yaalon said. "We've transferred water, food, including baby food, taking into consideration that these villages are besieged and they don't have access to any other place. So therefore yes, we are assisting with humanitarian aid along the fence." In this case he is referring to the clashes along the borders of Israel.
It is time for peaceful resolutions in the Middle East. And whereas Israel continues to pronounce itself vigilant and determined not to allow aggression that will negatively impact its survival, it remains at the same time one of the nations willing to provide humanitarian aid to those in desperate need when they have nowhere else to go.
