The Red Cross’ representatives in Israel responded by saying they will give an “appropriate reply once they have examined the population’s needs and requirements.”

“The Jewish State cannot sit by and do nothing while these atrocities are taking place in a neighboring state, and people are losing their entire world,” Lieberman was quoted as saying in the press release. “Even though Israel cannot intervene in events occurring in a country with which it does not have diplomatic relations, it is nevertheless our moral duty to extend humanitarian aid and inspire the world to put an end to the slaughter.”
