Israeli and Iranian Rescue Teams Work Together in Japan

According to this report on Kikar Shabbos, a rescue team of ZAKA from Israel (though they were acting as an independent rescue team with international recognition, and not as an official Israeli delegation) has been working in Japan. They have both been helping out, and observing how to act efficiently in a mass casualty calamity.

While there, they have been working alongside other rescue teams. One of the rescue teams they worked with was a team from Iran.

They greeted each other, they seem to have been courteous to each other, and they worked together. They even took pictures together.

The only things I wonder about is whether Iran has already killed the members of the team. And if not, will are they going to let this rescue team back into the country after they were so audacious as to greet the Israelis.

    i don't believe that iran will kill the rescue team. Iran is NOT like that. they won't kill people without reasons. it's not wrong to greet each other. As lots of Iranian is Muslims, i want u to know that there's NOTHING WRONG to greet each other in Islam even if you're jewish.

    not so absurd. just a generation ago, no one would be caught dead at a sushi bar or consider guidos or shaving heads, fashionable.

    Don't worry Rafi
    The Iranians probably thought that these were NK guys when they saw the beards and the peyos, and that the flag was going to be burned afterwards.
