Rep. Burton Expresses Concern over Israel Wildfires
Washington, D.C. - Today, Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN-05) issued the following statement as northern Israel continues to fight the worst forest fires in their modern history:
“My heart goes out to the people of Israel as they struggle to contain the massive forest fires that rage across their country. My heart especially goes out to the families of the 41 people, including the soldiers, who have lost their lives in this horrific blaze, especially as this occurs during Hanukkah.
“With 13,000 currently displaced from their homes, the assistance from surrounding countries Greece, Cyprus, Russia, Turkey and Italy, is vitally important. I also applaud President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton’s move to swiftly provide American aid.
“The people who are suffering because of this devastating fire will continue to be in my prayers.”
