flag Israel reopened its Lusaka embassy in Aug 2025, part of a push to strengthen African ties amid global criticism over Gaza.

flag In August 2025, Israel reopened its embassy in Lusaka, Zambia—the first such move in 52 years—part of a broader diplomatic effort to strengthen ties across Africa amid international criticism over its war in Gaza. flag The move, praised by Israeli officials including Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, comes as Israel seeks to counter growing regional opposition, particularly from South Africa, which leads global calls for accountability over alleged genocide in Gaza. flag The UN has concluded that Israel’s actions in Gaza constitute genocide, with over 66,000 Palestinians reported killed. flag Israel has engaged in high-level visits to Nigeria and South Sudan, with reports of secret talks about relocating Palestinians from Gaza—a plan that could amount to a war crime if enforced. flag While some African nations show interest in deeper ties, most remain cautious due to strong public opposition to Israel’s policies in Palestine and its lack of economic influence compared to China and Russia.
