his (Kanu) recent visit to this country yet,” Emmanuel said adding that the
pictures and videos could be old ones.
Speaking on their
relationship with Africa, Emmanuel said Israel has been misconstrued adding
that they are getting back to their old friends.
“Our relationship with
Africa is extremely important,” Emmanuel said, insisting that the continent
stands to benefit more from Israel.
“Israel is a peaceful
nation that believes in the process of the world at these changing times,”
Emmanuel disclosed, adding that they have different religions such as: Judaism,
Christianity and Islam that live peacefully with one another.
“Jerusalem is one of the
great cities in the world. We have Judaism, Christianity and Islam as
religions. We are considering a lot of networks with Africa and African
journalists will get direct contact with Israel journalist so that you don’t
need to take news from agencies.”
