Netanyahu is planning to visit Kazakhstan and possibly Azerbaijan, he tells Israeli reporters during his current four-country tour in Eastern Africa.
The prime minister makes the announcement at a briefing in his hotel in Nairobi, during which he also lays out a plan to create new alliances around the globe in a bid to strengthen Jerusalem’s position in the conflict with the Palestinians.
“Israel is perceived here, but not only here, as a world power in some areas, such as technology, intelligence, water, agriculture, cyber security and other areas I will not detail here. This is how Israel is seen,” Netanyahu says.
This policy of expanding international relations “will lead to a situation in which the Palestinians will no longer have this shelter and will have to discuss with us on a bilateral basis, something they refuse to do it as long as they have the international refuge,” he adds.

This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
