Israel and Chad resume diplomatic ties - Netanyahu's office
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Chad's President Idriss Deby on Sunday announced the resumption of diplomatic relations between the two states, a statement from Netanyahu's office said.
Netanyahu was expected to sign an official memorandum on the resumption of relations between the two countries, the announcement added.
In November 2018, the Chadian president arrived in Israel for the first official visit by a leader of the Central African country that severed diplomatic ties with Israel in 1972.
Israel has diplomatic ties with just two Arab states, Egypt and Jordan, though Netanyahu has hinted at warmer relations with Gulf Arab states that Israel views as natural allies against regional powerhouse Iran.
The Netanyahu government has been investing in outreach to Africa, where some countries previously warm to Israel have kept their distance since its occupation of the Palestinian territories in the 1967 Middle East war. Israel has diplomatic ties with 32 of the continent's 54 countries.
