Israel must welcome Syrian refugees: Herzog


(MENAFN- The Peninsula)



Jerusalem: Opposition Labour party leader Isaac Herzog called yesterday for Israel to take in Syrian refugees recalling the plight of Jews who sought refuge from past conflicts.

“Our people have experienced first-hand the silence of the world and cannot be indifferent in the face of the murder and massacre raging in Syria” Herzog posted on his Facebook page. Speaking at a panel discussion in Tel Aviv he called on the government “to act toward receiving refugees from the war in Syria in addition to the humanitarian efforts it is already making.”
