Offers from Israel of humanitarian aid for those affected by the devastating earthquake in Iran and Iraq were rejected, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said.

Addressing an event in Los Angeles for Jewish diaspora leaders in the US on Tuesday, Mr Netanyahu said that he had personally decided to offer help after being shaken by news of the quake, which killed more than 530 people and left 70,000 homeless. 

“I just saw the pictures of the destruction in Iran and Iraq from this week’s earthquake. And I saw these heartbreaking images of men and women and children buried under the rubble,” Mr Netanyahu told the event via a video link, The Times of Israel reported.

“I am proud to announce tonight that a few hours ago, I directed that we offer the Red Cross medical assistance for the Iraqi and Iranian victims of this disaster.” 

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

US did the same after Katrina. It's sad for the victims, but apparently governments rather stick to their politics.

Yeah it's not surprising. Stupid, but not surprising. To be honest I kinda feel like it's also somewhat of a PR stunt knowing full well Iran was going to refuse, but that doesn't make the refusal any less stupid, and it's not like Israel did not offer the same aid(which is usually accepted) to every other country in similar situations in the past.
