This has boosted our morale even more,” he said.

I got a lot from Israel but now Israel is in crisis, so how can I come back. I am trying to help the people as much as I can with the money I have saved,” he said.
“We stand with Israel. The local government supports us a lot. We have been here during happy times, we will stay here today when the situation is bad,” added Anil.
