Tel Aviv: Syrian pro-government newspaper Al-Watan on Monday rejected claims of seeking Israel’s help for earthquake relief, citing an official source. Hundreds of Syrians have been killed and over a thousand injured in a powerful earthquake that hit neighboring Turkey. The dispute between Arab countries like Israel and Syria is very old. Soon after coming into existence in 1948, the Jewish state had to face war with its neighboring Arab countries. The whole world remembers the Six-Day War in 1967, in which Israel single-handedly changed the map of the Middle East.
If reports are to be believed, Israel had earlier said that Syria had asked it for help in earthquake relief and it was ready to do so. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he has approved sending aid to earthquake-hit Syria. But a Syrian official denied reports of a request for help. Israel has received a request for humanitarian aid to Syria from a diplomatic source, Netanyahu told lawmakers from his Likud party. I have approved it.

Old enmity between Israel and Arab countries
A Syrian official, on the other hand, told reporters that Damascus “scoffed and denied claims” that they had asked Israel for help. The official said, ‘How can Syria ask for help from an organization that … has killed Syrians for decades?’ The Syrian government does not recognize Israel. There have been several battles between the two since the creation of Israel in 1948.
