Chad

Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon met Chad’s ambassador to the world body, Ali Alifei Moustapha, last week.

"The Iranians and Palestinians were upset about the trip and tried to stop it but failed."

Maiga's visit would be yet another diplomatic breakthrough for Israel with a Muslim-majority country.

In addition to the 10 killed peacekeepers, another 25 were injured.

This less circuitous route trimmed about an hour off the flight time from Chad’s capital of N’Djamena to Tel Aviv.

Ten peacekeepers were killed and at least 25 were wounded while repelling an attack by armed assailants near a village in northern Mali on Sunday.

Comments come as Israel, Chad renew ties.

Prime Minister Netanyahu met with the foreign minister for about 15 minutes in the VIP Welcome Hall at the airport.

Footage of Netanyahu meeting Chadian President Idriss Debby in N'Djamena is sure to feature in the elections campaign as Netanyahu will underline the strong relations Israel has forged during his tenure with China, India, Latin America and Africa.

The terrorist organization also demanded that the fishing area be expanded and to stop the blockade prohibiting goods into Gaza.
