Venezuela's president met yesterday with the Israeli rescue delegation deployed to assist after the devastating earthquake, according to Amit Segal (N12). The meeting marks a rare high-level contact between the two countries, which have no formal diplomatic relations since 2009.
The meeting between Venezuela's president and the Israeli rescue delegation, reported by Amit Segal (N12), took place in the earthquake zone yesterday. Israel dispatched a rescue delegation to Venezuela in late June, as The Zioneer reported, despite the absence of formal diplomatic ties since 2009. The delegation, operated by the Home Front Command, Magen, and other NGOs, has been conducting search-and-rescue operations since its arrival. Today's report is the first indication of a direct meeting between the president and the Israeli team, signaling a potential thaw in relations. The report is based on a single source, and no further details about the meeting's content or duration have been disclosed.
