Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently traveled to Africa where he met with Christian Zionists.
CBN News reports that Netanyahu met with the pro-Israel African
Christians in Nairobi, Kenya, and offered them a warm welcome from
Israel.
"Those of you who have come, come again. Those of you who haven't come,
come for the first time – visit Jerusalem, visit Nazareth. You can come
and see that. You can see all the places of the Bible," he said.
Netanyahu told those gathered that Israel has no better friends than
pro-Israel Christians, and that although Christians are persecuted many
places in the Middle East, they are welcome in Israel.
"I'm glad I have the opportunity, the privilege really, of meeting you.
We have no better friends in the world. None! We appreciate this
friendship, and we're expanding it into the continent of Africa,” he
said.
Netanyahu is working to establish new Israeli relations with African
nations. He met with seven African leaders in his recent meeting.
After his speech, the African leaders presented Netanyahu with a statue of the lion of Judah as a gift.
