Diaspora Minister Naftali Bennett met in his Knesset bureau with leaders of the Houston Jewish community.
The leaders described the plight of those who had been hit by Hurricane Harvey as well as the rehabilitation of the community, boosted by a million dollar donation from the Diaspora minister and expressed their gratitude.
Bennett said that the community had always been there for Israel when it needed help and added that "the state of Israel has a responsibility to every Jew and Jewess in the world. What we did was the minimum we could do to help the community and families in their predicament."
