• Singapore Leader Thanks Israel for Defense Aid – Herb Keinon
  Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong arrived in Israel on Mondayfor his first ever visit and noted with gratitude the defense aid and advice Singapore has received from Israel over the years. “In August 1965, when Singapore unexpectedly became independent, the Israel Defense Forces helped us to develop the Singapore Armed Forces. We asked a number of countries [for assistance], but only Israel responded to us, and it did so very promptly….We will always be grateful that Israel helped us and stood by us at our time of great need.”  (Jerusalem Post)
