Israel accepted the Turkish offer for the firefighting plane, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he appreciated the Turkish offer for assistance.

Netanyahu also spoke on Thursday with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and thanked him for positively and quickly responding to the Israeli request to send aircraft to help the efforts. Putin said that Russia would immediately send to Israel two giant firefighting planes.

Russia and Turkey have joined Greece, Italy, Croatia and Cyprus in the firefighting efforts, sending a total of 10 planes to Israel.
