Israel Expects Change in UN Voting Patterns, Netanyahu Says after Africa Trip
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu returned Monday morning from less than 12 hours in Liberia, stating that his appearance at the 15 member Economic Community Of West African States (ECOWAS) summit opened numerous doors for Israel in Africa. Netanyahu met with 10 African leaders one after the next until his plane left Liberia at 8 p.m. Sunday, meeting each for about 30 minutes. In each of the meetings he told the African leaders that Israel expected a change in their voting patterns in international forums. Netanyahu was the first non-African leader to be invited to be a keynote speaker at an ECOWAS summit.
