Baku-APA. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Saturday night to thank him for sending firefighting teams and trucks to help Israel put out fires, APA reports quoting Xinhua.
A statement released by the PM's Office said that Netanyahu "appreciates the fact that Jews and Arabs have opened their homes for victims of the blazes."
The rare talk between Israeli and Palestinian leaders came as a string of massive fires have been raging for five days in Israel and its neighbors including the West Bank, Egypt and Lebanon.
On Friday, Netanyahu and other right-wing leaders pointed the finger at Israeli Arabs, suggesting they committed "arson-terrorism."
