Israel Offers to Help Lebanon Hospitals with Respirators
Israel has expressed its willingness to provide hospitals in Lebanon with ventilators to treat Coronavirus patients, according to German News Agency on Thursday.
According to Israeli media, the offer came from the Director-general of the Israeli Health Ministry Hezi Levi "due to the severe shortage of such devices in Lebanon,” he said.
Levi said that after the Beirut port explosion, Israel offered to provide the Lebanese government with humanitarian help, but Lebanon refused to receive this aid.
Israel had offered to provide humanitarian aid to Lebanon after the explosion, through foreign channels, as the two countries have no diplomatic relations.
On Wednesday, the Syrian government offered 75 tons of oxygen to Lebanon during a visit by its caretaker health minister in response to a request for Covid-19 assistance.
On Wednesday, Lebanon recorded 3,856 new cases of coronavirus and 53 deaths, which raised the total to 448,721 and 5,903 deaths.

How much would anyone like to bet that Lebanon will refuse this offer.
The present leaders would much prefer to see innocent Lebanese civilians die, than accept Israeli assistance.

or just ignore. As usual.
The politicians can't be in favour of this as there is no way any of them can get a backhander from it.

Israel should pay for all of the damages that it incurred in Lebanon through out the years first, then Israel should prosecute its officers and politician who committed war crimes. then we will accept anything from them.

1948, remember or perhaps learn.
1. In 1948 it was the Arab Armies which invaded Israel and not the other way round, so why should Israel have to pay for damages.
2. When are the 800,000 Jews who were expelled from the Arab States (including Lebanon) going to receive compensation for all their property left behind?
3. In more recent years Hizballah has incurred much more damage on Lebanon than Israel ever did. Israel NEVER attacked the territory under the direct control of the Government of the Republic of Lebanon, but only those parts of the republic which was occupied by the terrorists.

First, let Syria pay. They have occupied us for decades, invaded us, they tortured our people, executed our soldiers, they stole from our port, from our businesses, they sent us over 1.5M refugees, they embezzled us, they assassinated many of our political leaders including Presidents. They have manipulated our Politics, bought off our Politicians.
Second, let the Palestinians Pay. They have destroyed half of this country. We have the burden of hundreds of thousands of their people, living on our land. They used and occupied our lands af it it was their own. Why are they still here?
I admire the Israelis for reaching out to us and lending a hand. It is honorable and gracious as they are our enemy. A gesture we would be totally incapable of because Ebola has been repeating for decades that these people want our Land or water or ressources... The enemy is not Israel anymore. It is within our own...
