IDF Home Front Command, Foreign Ministry, sending delegation to Venezuela to aid in quake recovery

Israel announced it will deploy a humanitarian delegation led by the IDF Home Front Command and Foreign Ministry to Venezuela to assist in earthquake recovery efforts, despite the absence of formal diplomatic relations between the two countries for 17 years. The Israeli team of experts will work directly with Venezuelan counterparts following the recent earthquakes that struck the Caribbean nation. The deployment represents an unusual instance of humanitarian cooperation between Jerusalem and Caracas amid their prolonged diplomatic freeze.
