Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will soon fly to Chad, where he and Chad President Idriss Deby will announce the resumption of diplomatic relations, his office announced Tuesday.
Netanyahu and Deby, on a historic three-day visit to Israel, met Tuesday morning at the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem, where they discussed common threats and the fight against terrorism, as well as increasing bilateral cooperation in – inter alia – agriculture, counter-terrorism, border defense, technology, solar energy, water and health.
In a joint press conference on Sunday, Deby told reporters that he “wants to renew ties between the two countries.”
Netanyahu said he had spoken with Deby “about the changes that are taking place in the Arab world with regard to Israel, and this is reflected in the meeting with Sultan Qaboos [in Oman, Jordan], and there will be more visits to Arab countries soon.”
