Israel, Jordan, Palestine hold disaster-response drills
#Palestinian, #Jordan'ian and #Israel'i emergency services participated in joint exercises on Tuesday with a view to preparing for region-wide natural disasters.
Now underway in southern Israel, the two-day exercise — which involves 400 firefighters, medics and first-responders — is meant to simulate a cross-border disaster.
Israel's Foreign Ministry said the operation was aimed at “saving lives, irrespective of nationality”.
In a statement, the ministry said the main goal of the drill was to allow participants “to share their experiences and build common capacities with a view to effectively responding to disaster scenarios”.
The three-country exercise is partly sponsored by the governments of #Italy, #Span and #France.
Israel has long sought to normalize relations with Arab states of the region. As it currently stands, the self-proclaimed Jewish state only enjoys diplomatic relations with #Egypt and #Jordan.
