Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a meeting of the West African trade bloc on Sunday as the Jewish state renewed its push for closer diplomatic, economic and security ties with sub-Saharan Africa.
“This is the first time they have invited the leader of a non-African country to address them,” Mr Netanyahu said prior to his speech in Liberia to the 15-nation Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas), “Israel is returning to Africa in a big way.”
