A senior Israeli official has told Channel 10 Television that Israel is in talks to warm relations with several other Muslim countries in Africa, including Sudan.
It is estimated that the visit of President Idriss Deby of Chad will significantly promote relations with its Muslim neighbors from Mali and Niger. The official added that one of the goals is to allow the passage of flights between Israel and Latin America over those countries. In the case of Brazil, that would shorten the trip by four hours.
