by Avi Yellin
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said Saturday evening at a Haifa University press conference that following the tragic loss of 41 lives in the Carmel fires which began Thursday morning, his main goals were preventing the loss of more lives and putting the fire out from the air with international assistance.
Netanyahu said that thanks to the cooperation of the firefighters, police, Magen David Adom and other volunteers, the first goal of saving lives had successfully been reached.

The prime minister also referred to the help Israel received from other nations, including Egypt, Turkey and Jordan, as "heartwarming," clarifying that there was "no shame" in receiving foreign assistance in putting out a fire of this magnitude.
