Following devastating wildfires in Chile's Torres del Paine National Park, Israel dispatched a delegation of forestry and restoration experts to help rehabilitate the ecology and provided seedlings to replant the affected nature reserve.
COLUMBIA:
1. The 2021 Humanitarian Water Innovation
The rural, desert-like state of La Guajira was suffering a prolonged, climate-change-induced drought causing severe malnutrition and water scarcity. The Israeli government donated two heavy-duty atmospheric water generators created by the Israeli company Watergen. These advanced machines extract humidity directly from the air to produce up to 800 litres of clean, fresh drinking water per day for local vulnerable communities.
2. The 2026 Earthquake Relief Operation
Israel sent 80-member team. Over 12 days, they operated around-the-clock in Cali, rescuing 29 people from the debris and assessing damaged schools and infrastructure. Israeli NGO IsraAID activated its long-term, in-country mission to focus directly on mitigating urgent water shortages, repairing sanitation infrastructure, and providing mental health and psychological first aid to survivors. In addition to search-and-rescue teams, the Israeli government dispatched two separate large-scale humanitarian shipments. This included a 5-ton and a 7-ton emergency cache containing crucial medicine and medical supplies to support overwhelmed Colombian hospitals.
CUBA:
Hurricane Melissa Relief2025
Israeli humanitarian NGO IsraAID launched an emergency response mission. The Israeli teams deployed to the region focused heavily on providing critical assistance in Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH), alongside mental health and psychosocial support for storm survivors.
This was despite a lack of formal diplomatic relations.
EGYPT:
The 2025/2026 Gas Lifeline Agreement
Israel helps Egypt avert a severe energy deficit through massive natural-gas exports from offshore fields like Leviathan and Tamar, highlighted by a landmark $35 billion agreement signed in late 2025 that runs through 2040.
ESWATINI:
Self-Sustaining Energy Systems
Expanded grid installations, completely offsetting the lack of municipal electricity by installing modular solar blocks for schools.
JORDAN:
1. Water Supply and Infrastructure
Jordan is one of the world's most water-scarce nations, heavily reliant on its neighbor for its baseline freshwater supply. Israel transfers 50 million cubic meters (mcm) of water annually from the Sea of Galilee to Jordan under a baseline supply treaty. In 2021, the countries signed an add-on agreement to sell Jordan an extra 50 mcm of water per year at a discounted rate. Due to deteriorating political ties and severe domestic droughts, Israel halted the renewal of this supplemental deal, reverting the flow strictly back to the treaty's baseline requirements.
2. Natural Gas and Energy Stability
Jordan relies on Israel for approximately 40% of its annual natural gas needs.
INDONESIA:
2018 Sulawesi Earthquake & Tsunami
Following a catastrophic 7.5-magnitude earthquake and tsunami that claimed over 1,400 lives, Israel quietly sent advanced water purification systems directly to the disaster zones via the International Red Cross. Concurrently, the independent Israeli NGO IsraAID deployed an emergency response team to Sulawesi to set up mobile water filters and provide trauma treatment.
IRAN:
1962 Historical Buin Zahra Earthquake
During a period of close, warm bilateral ties, a devastating 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck Iran's Qazvin province. Israel immediately airlifted emergency medicine and tents. More significantly, the Israeli state water engineering firm, Tahal, was brought in by Iran to spearhead a complete reconstruction project. Israeli teams built 1,000 pre-fabricated homes and constructed deep-water wells that transformed the region's agricultural irrigation pipeline.
2003 & 2017 Modern Aid Offers Rebuffed
Following major modern disasters, such as the 2003 Bam earthquake and the 2017 Kermanshah earthquake, the Israeli government publicly offered to send military rescue teams, water engineering tech, and medical supplies through the Red Cross. The current Iranian regime officially rejected all modern Israeli aid offers.
KENYA:
1. 1998 Nairobi Bombing:
IDF dispatched a specialized 170-member task force within 23 hours. They successfully pulled three living survivors from the debris. Israeli military surgeons and emergency medical technicians provided urgent care on-site and assisted local hospitals. Military transport planes flew in metric tons of medical supplies, clothing, blankets, and food for the victims.
2. Nairobi Building Collapse (2006):
When a multi-story building collapsed in Nairobi, Israel sent an 80-member IDF search and rescue delegation alongside medical experts to rescue trapped civilians.
3. Nairobi catastrophic fuel line explosion 2011:
Israel rushed hundreds of kilograms of specialized burn treatments, ointments, and painkillers to the Kenyatta National Hospital.
4. Development, Health, and Agriculture (via MASHAV):
MASHAVE - Israel’s official agency for international development cooperation, runs permanent programs in Kenya focused on sustainability and livelihood enhancement:
4.1. Israel trains Kenyan farmers in drip irrigation and drylands agriculture, assisting with food security in arid and semi-arid regions.
4.2. Non-governmental Israeli humanitarian groups like IsraAID and "Rescuers Without Borders" routinely sponsor free medical, surgical, and vision clinics in remote counties and manage medical/water filtration systems in refugee hubs like the Kakuma Refugee Camp.
4.3. Israel continuously coordinates with international agencies to donate tons of intensive care unit (ICU) gear, pharmaceuticals, and surgical tools to major hospitals across Nairobi and Kisumu.
5. Counter-Terrorism and Security
Israel provides intelligence sharing, tactical training, and counter-terrorism instruction to Kenyan security forces to secure border entry points and safeguard public spaces.
KYRGYZSTAN:
1990s–Present -- Through MASHAV's regional deployment networks, Israel has provided ongoing agricultural training to over 700 Central Asian technicians. This includes introducing automated drip irrigation to rural Kyrgyz farms. Additionally, Israeli medical groups have historically deployed mobile eye surgical units to remote parts of Kyrgyzstan to reverse preventable blindness.
LEBANON:
2020 Beirut Port Explosion Offer
Following the catastrophic August 2020 explosion at the Port of Beirut, the Israeli government bypassed the lack of diplomatic relations to offer immediate humanitarian assistance. Through official UN and international defense channels, Israel offered to send advanced medical equipment, food, and emergency supplies. Additionally, several northern Israeli hospitals publicly offered to take in and treat severely injured Lebanese citizens. The Lebanese government officially refused the aid offer.
MADAGASCAR:
1. 2017 Pneumonic Plague Outbreak Aid
When Madagascar was hit by a severe outbreak of pneumonic plague, the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the South African branch of Magen David Adom partnered to ship over three tons of specialized therapeutic nutrition and medical supplies to the International Red Cross on the island to combat widespread child malnutrition during the health crisis.
2. 2024 Cyclone Gamane Relief
In the immediate aftermath of the destructive Cyclone Gamane, the Embassy of Israel facilitated the logistical transfer of emergency humanitarian goods and disaster relief supplies to the displaced populations across the island.
MOZAMBIQUE:
Cyclone Idai Disaster Relief 2019
Sent emergency medical teams, psychological support professionals, and Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) experts. They distributed specialized household water-filtration systems to provide safe drinking water to thousands.
MYANMAR:
1. 2025 Mandalay Earthquake Relief
Following a devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake in March 2025, the Israeli Embassy in Yangon alongside MASHAV (Israel’s Agency for International Development) delivered 10 tons of critical humanitarian aid. This shipment included food, baby supplies, and vital medicines. Concurrently, the Israeli NGO IsraAID deployed emergency teams to distribute water filters, jerry cans, and hygiene items, while actively restoring damaged water infrastructure in hard-hit areas like Inle Lake.
2. 2015 Monsoon Flood Crisis
When severe seasonal flooding displaced thousands, the Israeli Embassy sent delegation teams directly to rescue camps in the Tharyarwaddy District. They donated heavy caches of food, medical supplies, hygiene kits, and malaria prevention nets to over 250 families, alongside physical medical donations to regional hospitals.
3. 2008 Cyclone Nargis Response
In the immediate aftermath of the catastrophic cyclone, Israeli medical doctors, nurses, and water engineering experts deployed to Yangon. Operating under the IsraAID umbrella, they treated survivors and ran chemical assessments to secure safe drinking water from contaminated plains.
NORTH MACEDOIA:
2026 (Bilateral Tech & Infrastructure Expansion)
While North Macedonia has not required recent catastrophic disaster relief, the country prioritized closer diplomatic and defense ties with Israel in 2026. This ongoing cooperation involves developing shared economic infrastructure, direct flight trade routes, and importing Israeli security technology.
PAKISTAN:
2005 Kashmir Earthquake Relief
Following the massive 7.6-magnitude earthquake that killed over 70,000 people, the Israeli government immediately offered an aid package. The Pakistani government formally agreed to accept the aid on the condition that it be dispatched through a third-party organization, such as the United Nations. The relief cache focused heavily on emergency logistical supplies, including thousands of winterized blankets, tents, and food rations.
SAN MORINO:
2021 "Vaccine Diplomacy" Medical Aid
During the global COVID-19 pandemic, Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs attempted to orchestrate a specialized shipment of tens of thousands of surplus coronavirus vaccine doses to the Italian landlocked microstate. While Israel formally committed to transferring the medical aid, internal Israeli legal disputes over Prime Minister Netanyahu's authority temporarily halted the scale of the "vaccine diplomacy" shipments.
SAUDI ARABIA:
Due to the lack of formal diplomatic relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia, there is no direct, public sale or open government-to-government deals. Saudi does not need Israeli aid. However, Saudi has critical dependency on Israel in 3 major areas which are managed via indirect channels:
- Military Aviation Technology -- While Israel carefully guards its Qualitative Military Edge (QME) in the Middle East, even raising formal defense objections in September 2026 regarding a proposed US $24.3 billion sale of F-35 stealth jets to the Kingdom, Israeli aviation components have historically integrated into Saudi fleets.
- Drip Irrigation Tech -- Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 initiative places a massive emphasis on transitioning away from wasteful surface flooding toward AI-driven smart agriculture. Because Israel originally pioneered and industrialized modern drip irrigation, its tech is highly sought after in the Gulf:The Faceless Corporate Pipeline: Israeli agrotech giants like Netafim cannot bid directly on Saudi government tenders. To bypass this, projects are executed through a consortium model. The Saudi government or local entities (such as those building mega-cities like NEOM) award massive water infrastructure and vertical farming contracts to regional or local developers. These regional developers then purchase and deploy the underlying Israeli drip lines, automated sensors, and computerized root-monitoring software.
- Tactical Air & Intelligence Sharing -- Aside from physical hardware, Israel operates within the US Central Command (CENTCOM) framework to share real-time airborne and satellite intelligence with Saudi Arabia to counter regional Houthi drone and missile threats.
SURINAME, GUYANA:
Ongoing Agricultural & Technical Assistance - Israel holds formal diplomatic ties with both South American nations. While neither country has requested heavy-duty emergency military disaster relief from Israel, both regularly participate in MASHAV training programs. These frameworks train local specialists in implementing Israeli climate-smart agricultural frameworks, water recycling tech, and medical management models.
SYRIA:
The same 2023 earthquake also hit Syria. Israel has no diplomatic ties with Syria. Israel sent tons of aid - medication, tents, blankets, generators and winter gear. According to Netanyahu, they received the request for aid via third parties, but Damascus publicly denied this. The IDF fied hospital treated Syrian refugees and victims who had crossed over into Turkey.
THE BAHAMAS:
2019 Hurricane Dorian Action
When the Category 5 storm completely decimated Grand Bahama and Abaco islands, Israeli disaster specialists arrived immediately. Working alongside local teams, they deployed advanced mobile water purification controllers capable of filtering saltwater and mud into drinkable water, serving thousands of displaced residents.
THE MALDIVES:
2010 Ophthalmic Medical Aid
In a rare bilateral window, an Israeli medical delegation composed of eye surgeons traveled to the Maldives. They conducted dozens of complex eye surgeries for local islanders free of charge and trained regional public health workers.
TONGA:
1. 2022 Volcanic Eruption & Tsunami Emergency
Following the massive Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai volcanic eruption and tsunami, Israel’s national aid agency, MASHAV, mobilized emergency resources. Given that volcanic ash severely contaminated fresh water supplies, Israel focused its initial efforts on securing safe drinking water.
2. 2024 Sustainable Technology Transition
Building on the disaster recovery, Israel expanded its aid to the Atatā Si'i resettlement village on Tongatapu for displaced islanders. MASHAV funded and installed Israeli HomeBiogas units for households to convert organic waste into cooking gas, alongside Netafim drip-irrigation systems to sustainably water the community's agricultural fields
TURKEY:
In the devastating earthquake in 2023, under "Operation Olive Branch", the Israel's Defence Force sent 150-230 personnel to help in search and rescue. They set up a fully equipped field hospital in Kahramnamaras, utilising tons of flown-in medical gear. They treated hundreds of injured civilians and restored functions at a local Turkish hospital. They also rescued 19 people alive. Israeli civil society organisations like United Hatzalah and ZAKA also deployed emergency personnel, first responders, and tons of equipment.
UGANDA:
Solar-Powered Water Systems 2019 till present:
Operating through the Israeli non-profit Innovation, Israel has installed custom-built, solar-powered water pumping and filtration units across rural villages like Nayigunya.
UZBEKISTAN:
2019 - To combat severe water shortages in historically arid tourist cities like Bukhara and Samarkand, the Uzbek Ministry of Innovation signed a multi-million dollar agreement with Israel. Israel dispatched thousands of Watergen GEN-M atmospheric water generators, which pull humidity out of ambient air to produce up to 800 litres of clean drinking water daily for vulnerable communities and local orphanages.
2026 -: Following an escalating water crisis in the semi-autonomous republic of Karakalpakstan, the Uzbek government partnered with Israel’s DeserTech and Climate Innovation Center. Israel officially committed to training local ecology experts and implementing desert agriculture systems
VENEZUELA:
Earthquake 2026
Israeli humanitarian groups, including IsraAID and NATAN Worldwide Disaster Relief, deployed emergency response specialists and medical teams. IsraAID teams installed vital water filtration and sanitation systems in displacement camps, schools, and medical facilities across affected regions like Caracas and La Guaira. Delegations provided psychological first aid, trauma support, and child-friendly spaces for young survivors, alongside medical care coordinated with local partners and Venezuela's Jewish community.
What About PALESTINE?1. Jobs & Labor Migration
Prior to major conflict escalations, Israel was the single largest external employer for the Palestinian workforce, primarily driven by significantly higher wages than those available in the local Palestinian economy. In the periods leading up to major escalations, between 165,000 and 175,000 Palestinians held legal work permits or crossed dynamically to work inside Israel and Israeli settlements. Roughly 150,000 of these workers crossed daily from the West Bank, while approximately 18,500 permits were issued to laborers from the Gaza Strip. Palestinian workers in Israel accounted for roughly 22.5% of the entire West Bank workforce. Because the average daily wage in Israel (approx. $80 USD) is more than double the average wage inside the West Bank (approx. $30 USD), these jobs generated cash injections that accounted for nearly 24% of the West Bank's total GDP. The vast majority were employed in the construction, agriculture, and manufacturing sectors.
2. Medical Treatment
Because the Palestinian healthcare system has systemic shortages in specialized care, the Palestinian Authority (PA) routinely refers complex cases to Israeli hospitals through a structured system of medical permits managed by Israel’s COGAT (Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories). During baseline non-conflict years, between 20,000 and 50,000 medical permits are approved annually for Palestinian patients and their designated companions to cross into Israel for treatment. The treatment is heavily focused on pediatric oncology, complex cardiac surgeries, bone marrow transplants, and advanced trauma care. These operations take place at world-class Israeli medical centers like Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem and Sheba Medical Center near Tel Aviv. The costs are billed back directly to the Palestinian Authority via deducted tax clearance revenues handled by Israel.
3. Electricity & Power Grid
The Palestinian territories lack the domestic infrastructure to generate sufficient power, leaving them structurally dependent on the Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) for daily energy.The West Bank: The Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) directly supplies approximately 92.5% of all electricity consumed in the West Bank. The remaining small percentage is covered by minor solar infrastructure and imports from Jordan. In normal periods, Gaza requires a peak demand of roughly 450–600 MW, but chronically operates on a massive deficit. Israel directly sells and channels 120 Megawatts (MW) of electricity to Gaza via 10 direct high-voltage feeder lines, meeting roughly 35% to 50% of Gaza's baseline operational power. The rest is generated locally by the solo Gaza Power Plant (when diesel is available) or drawn from rooftop solar grids.
4. Water Supply & Pipeline Management
Under the framework established by the Oslo Accords, the water infrastructure between Israel and the Palestinian territories functions as an interconnected, highly dependent pipeline. Israel’s national water company, Mekorot, directly sells and transfers approximately 90 million to 102 million cubic meters (m³) of water annually to the Palestinian Water Authority. This purchased supply accounts for roughly 60% of the domestic water consumed by Palestinians in the West Bank. In non-conflict periods, Gaza relies heavily on internal aquifer pumping and small desalination plants. However, due to severe over-extraction and groundwater contamination, Israel directly pumps an additional 10 million to 15 million cubic meters of fresh drinking water per year directly into Gaza via three distinct pipelines
Different Genocide -- The Nazi Vaccination Vs Israeli Vaccination
History certainly has a twisted sense of timing. During the Nazi Holocaust, a mandatory injection given to a Jewish person by the regime was an actual kiss of death. Yet, fast forward a few decades, and the world is treated to the bizarre spectacle of the modern Middle East, where the accused state takes a timeout from its alleged "genocide" to carefully distribute and administer life-saving vaccines to the very population it is supposedly trying to eliminate. Of course, the irony gets even better when you look at the receipt: the global public got to absorb the bill through UN-backed programs like COVAX and foreign aid donors, allowing everyone to feel good about funding a vaccine drive inside an active conflict zone.
