Israeli President Shimon Peres
Israel's President Shimon Peres and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rewarded the Bulgarian firefighters who participated in extinguishing the deadly fires in the Northern Israeli region of Haifa.
The ceremony was carried out in the Presidential Residence in Jerusalem. Honorary diplomas were given out to the Bulgarian and other foreign firefighters.
Last week, Israel's worst forest fire in history and prompted Bulgaria to send a team of firefighters to help extinguish the flames.
The blaze has killed 41 people — most of them prison guards whose bus was engulfed by flames as they rushed to evacuate a prison. More than 17 000 people have been evacuated. Some 50 square kilometers of forest has burned.
The first planes to arrive, overnight between Thursday and Friday, were a Bulgarian Airbus carrying 90 Bulgarian firefighters and a Greek C130.
The Israeli media has praised the Bulgarians' efforts in extinguishing the deadly blaze.
Meanwhile, President Shimon Peres has sent a congratulatory letter to Bulgaria's Jewish Organization 'Shalom' in which he speaks highly of the Organization's work and praises the rescue of the Bulgarian Jews from certain dead in Nazi Concentration Camps as a "sign of the deep historical connection between our two nations."
On Wednesday, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman will visit Bulgaria.
