A Lebanese-Iraqi historian living in the UK offered a rare public expression of admiration for the Israeli aid delegation currently operating in Venezuela. In a response to photos of the delegation, the historian said he knows little about Israel and has never visited, but praised the delegation's willingness to help despite the 'avalanche of hatred' directed at the country. The delegation, sent by the IDF and Foreign Ministry, has been in Venezuela since late June to assist with rescue efforts following an earthquake. Its presence has drawn mixed reactions: pro-Palestinian activists published its location and called for its expulsion, while Venezuela's acting president thanked the team and praised its professionalism, as The Zioneer previously reported.
