Israel Eyes Expanded Business with Africa
(JTA) Ron Kampeas - Israel has recently enhanced security ties with Egypt, reinvigorated decades-old ties in Africa, and mended ties with Turkey.

Netanyahu traveled to Africa with 80 men and women representing 50 businesses. Yosef Abramowitz, CEO of Energiya Global Capital, said he shook hands on $1 billion worth of deals.
