Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on a historic trip to Africa where he is visiting Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda and Ethiopia. In exchange for its expertise in security and other fields, Israel wants African states to side with it at the United Nations.

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has announced that he has been entrusted by Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and South Sudan to form an alliance with Israel, and Israel’s Paratrek organizes hiking trips and outdoor adventures for the physically challenged and impaired.

A recent edition of the AJC Live radio show focused on Israel's humanitarian work around the globe being carried out by IsraAid, and Kuwaiti reporter Ahmad Al-Sarraf called on Arabs to look at the reasons for Israel's success and superiority, instead of viewing it as a political-religious foe.

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta visited Israel, but the Palestinians are upset he made a stop in Judea and Samaria, Israel's historical heartland. The Palestinians are also upset Kenyatta did not visit any Palestinian city.

Israel and Kenya are working to strengthen their decades-old ties as Israel hopes to create even more allies on the African continent.

President Kenyatta arrived in Israel for a three day visit which will focus on the development of the cooperation between the two countries, and especially on the war against Islamic terrorism.
