イスラエル has a long history of 関与 in Africa, sending 専門家s in 農業 and 開発, 同様に as 軍の 助言者s and mercenaries, over the years.

Netanyahu's visit caps a budding 親善 in 最近の years 始めるd by 弁護 大臣 Avigdor Lieberman, who, as 外務大臣 a few years ago, 小旅行するd the continent on two occasions after no Israeli 外務大臣 had visited in two 10年間s.

In turn, dozens of African 高官s have visited イスラエル in 最近の years, 含むing Kenyan 大統領 Uhuru Kenyatta and Liberian 大統領 Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. Dore Gold, a 上級の Israeli 外交官, traveled to South Africa in March, hoping to mend 関係 with a country that is 堅固に supportive of the Palestinian 追求(する),探索(する) for statehood.

"イスラエル is coming 支援する to Africa; Africa is coming 支援する to イスラエル. It's happening in a big way," Netanyahu told African 外交官/大使s at the 開始する,打ち上げる February of the Israeli 議会's (政党の)幹部会,党集会 for イスラエル-Africa relations. Netanyahu said last month he will 捜し出す 政府 是認 for a $13 milli on 計画(する) to 強化する 経済的な 関係 and 協調 with African countries.

イスラエル played a 目だつ 役割 in 補助装置ing newly 独立した・無所属 African countries in the 1960s, but those relations 崩壊するd in the 1970s, when Arab countries, 約束ing 援助(する), 圧力d African nations to 限界 or 削減(する) 関係 with イスラエル. African 明言する/公表するs were also …に反対するd to イスラエル's の近くに 関係 to South Africa's 人種隔離政策(アパルトヘイト) 政府.

With the rise of jihadism across the continent, from Boko Haram in Nigeria to al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab 交戦的なs in Somalia, イスラエル has 設立する ありふれた ground with countries like Kenya, Uganda and Nigeria.

"Any victory of 過激な Islam in any part of Africa すぐに 衝撃s us," said Avi Granot, the former 長,率いる of the Israeli Foreign 省's Africa 分割. "The more 敗北・負かすs (交戦的なs) 直面する, whether it is in Nigeria, Cameroon, Somalia or Chad, then it's a victory also for the Middle East."

While Israeli 軍の 輸出(する)s to Africa are 限られた/立憲的な, it 供給するs several countries with 安全 training and 援助. Granot 特記する/引用するd イスラエル's (軍隊などの)展開,配備 of a team of 安全 専門家s に引き続いて the 2013 al-Shabab attack on a Nairobi 商店街. He said イスラエル, with its 広大な experience fighting 交戦的なs, could continue to 申し込む/申し出 training on terror 予防.

Israeli 弁護 公式の/役人s say 知能 株ing is 限られた/立憲的な to a few の近くに 同盟(する)s for now. イスラエル has 軍の 関係 with several African countries, and イスラエル's 弁護 省 has given 通関手続き/一掃 for 私的な Israeli 安全 会社/堅いs to operate in some nations, 含むing some 武器 sales.

In 交流 for its 専門的知識 in 安全 and other fields, イスラエル wants African 明言する/公表するs to 味方する with it at the U.N., where the General 議会 圧倒的に 認めるd パレスチナ as a nonmember 観察者/傍聴者 明言する/公表する in 2012. The Palesti nians have used their 昇格d status to 開始する,打ち上げる a 外交攻勢 against イスラエル and its 占領/職業 of lands where the Palestinians hope to 設立する a 未来 明言する/公表する.

"We're talking about some 45 countries in sub-Saharan Africa who 投票(する) in one 圏 at the U.N.," said Arye Oded, a former Israeli 外交官 and 専門家 on Africa. "Netanyahu wants to 改善する relations with these countries ... and wants more countries to not 投票(する) against us at the U.N."

Granot said African countries may be responsive to supporting イスラエル because the Palestinian 原因(となる) is "tangential" to them. One example of that (機の)カム during Kenyatta's trip, when he 怒り/怒るd the Palestinians by visiting a ユダヤ人の 解決/入植地 in the West Bank. The Palestinians and 事実上 the entire international community 見解(をとる) the 解決/入植地s as 違法な or 非合法の.

Yoram Elron, the 長,率いる of the Israeli foreign 省's Africa 分割, said an 増加するing number of African countries "understand that イスラエル is 存在 選び出す/独身d out in the international fora."

Jamal Dajani, the Palestinian 政府 広報担当者, said he believed African 明言する/公表するs would see through Netanyahu's "宣伝" because Africans and the Palestinians 株 a history of "占領/職業s and 植民地主義."

Netanyahu 出発/死s Monday, and will spend a total of four days in the east African nations of Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda and Ethiopia.

In Uganda, a 儀式 is planned to 示す the 40th 周年記念日 of the July 1976 操作/手術 that 解放する/自由なd Israeli 人質s from a ハイジャック(する)d 計画(する) at Entebbe. Netanyahu's brother Yonatan, the leader of the 特殊部隊員 部隊 that led the (警察の)手入れ,急襲, was 発射 dead as he was helping the Israeli 人質s who had been held inside the airport's old 終点 支援する の上に the 計画(する). His death made Yonatan an Israeli hero, and thrust Netanyahu to 区 public life.

"It changed his life 180 degrees," said Nahum Barnea, イスラエル's pre-著名な political columnist, 追加するing that Netanyahu has also derived political 資本/首都 from his brother's death.

"The images from the airport will make Israelis think that Yoni and Bibi are the same thing," he said, referring to the Netanyahu brothers by their 愛称s. "The 結果 will be (the impression that) Netanyahu is linked to victory. Netanyahu is linked to 軍の success."
