JERUSALEM —
Israel expects other African states to restore diplomatic relations with the Jewish state after the resumption of ties with Togo, a government official said Thursday.
Togo on Tuesday became the fifth African nation in five years to restore relations with Israel. About 29 African countries cut ties following the 1967 and 1973 Arab-Israeli wars. Among those considered possible candidates to follow Togo’s move are Gabon, Ghana and Kenya.
