"We were received
respectfully." He added, "After all, we're dealing with a humanitarian
issue which knows no borders," Ma'an reported."We hope that we will have a major role in fighting the fire and in the
humanitarian effort on Mount Carmel," a Palestinian firefighter told
Channel 10. "It's, like, peace."When asked by Israel Radio how they felt about fighting a fire in
Israel, the Palestinians responded that it was partly a humanitarian
work, partly their job as firefighters, and that they believe Israel
would help in the same way should the Palestinians ever find themselves
in a similar situation.
Jordanian firefighters were also sent to help fight the Carmel fire on the ground.
