Gratitude Diplomacy
Gratitude for help with the Carmel fires
The following countries sent help to fight the worst natural disaster (Big Brother in Hebrew doesn’t count) in Israel’s history. Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Jordan, the Netherlands, the Palestinian Authority, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States.
If you are involved in public diplomacy for Israel please search the web for English (or any other language you are familiar with†) newspapers of the countries that came to Israel’s aid and write a short thank you in their readers letters column on behalf of the people of Israel and those who love this country.
We must express our gratitude for their help.
