Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs apologized for the comments of Deputy Minister Ayoub Kara after he linked the earthquake in Italy to the UNESCO World Heritage Committee resolution ignoring Judaism's deep ties to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

Israel was shaken by a mild tremor on Saturday. No one was injured and there was no major damage.

In a beautiful move that any other country has yet to match, Israel has now taken a great step further with its relief efforts in Nepal after it vowed to adopt a destroyed village and completely rebuild it.
