Israeli aid delegation extends work in Venezuela after rare call from President Rodriguez to Sa'ar

The request to extend Israeli aid beyond the original departure date suggests that the initial assessment phase revealed deeper reconstruction challenges. The coming weeks will test whether this operational cooperation can withstand the political pressures both governments face.
