- Story Text: Ethiopia's Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn met Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman and toured the old city on Monday (June 5) at the start of a two-day visit to the region.
Desalegn, on his first official visit to Israel, is scheduled to meet Israeli leaders and lay a wreath at Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who on Sunday (June 4) attended the ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) conference in Liberia, is scheduled to meet Desalegn on Tuesday (June 6).
Netanyahu traveled to Ethiopia in July 2016 during the first visit by a sitting Israeli prime minister to Africa in 29 years. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
