Foreign Minister Eli Cohen lands in Kenya for the African Union’s midyear coordination meeting in Nairobi. Cohen was invited by Kenyan President William Ruto and Foreign Minister Alfred Mutua.
While in Nairobi, Cohen will also meet other African leaders. Kenya supports Israel’s observer status at the AU, which has been a major point of contention within the 55-state bloc.
