Netanyahu: Israel seeks support of African states at UN
Israel’s top diplomatic goal in Africa is to end the “automatic” votes against the Jewish state by African representatives at the UN, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tells a gathering of Israel’s envoys to the continent.
Africa holds a “very high place” in Israel’s foreign policy priorities, Netanyahu says. “Our first interest is to dramatically change the tally of votes by African states at the UN and international bodies from opposition to support.”
The prime minister predicts that “the day is not far off when we will have a majority [of support] there.”
