>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quickly offered aid to the victims of the massive earthquake in Japan on March 11, 2011, and the first group of Israeli humanitarian experts was already prepared to leave for the scene the day it struck. Netanyahu’s office issued a statement, saying: “Prime Minister Netanyahu delivered a message to the Japanese government, saying that the people of Israel express their deep sorrow over the tragedy in Japan, and that he will work to provide any help that will be required. The Japanese ambassador expressed his gratitude and said that he will convey the message to his government.”
>In the days prior to the IDF's humanitarian aid delegation's March 26 departure for Japan, the MFA worked with the Japanese authorities to determine a list of the most necessary items. The Japanese authorities noted that Israel will be one of the first countries to provide aid in accordance with their requirements. The initial aid shipment of essential items included 10,000 coats, 6,000 blankets, 8,000 pairs of gloves and 150 portable toilets
>IsraAID kept a team stationed in Japan in the years following the 2011 disaster to provide infrastructure and psychological support for those affected. The Israeli team sprung into action once more in July 2018, when devastating flooding caused significant damage and loss of life in the Okayama prefecture of Western Japan. Record-breaking rainfall caused landslides and flooding that destroyed homes and displaced more than 2 million individuals. The team from IsraAID helped local Japanese organizations with search-and-rescue efforts, as well as clean-up and seeing to the needs of the victims.
What explains this enduring friendship between Israel and Japan?
