Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday pledged his country's cooperation with African nations against terrorism as he met Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta.
"Israel is willing and prepared to work with African countries in our common battle against militant Islamic terrorism," Netanyahu said as he went into talks with Kenyatta, whose country has long been a strategic ally of Israel.
"I have to say that more and more African countries recognize what you recognize -- that Israel is a unique partner against this extremism".
The Kenyan leader said "we both live in challenging neighborhoods with similar security concerns and the cooperation between our two governments since the time of our independence has been formidable".
He said he hoped his visit would further strengthen ties with Israel.
