MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 20th January, 2019) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has departed for Chad to officially restore relations describing the visit as "historic and important breakthrough," his office said on Sunday.
"I am now leaving on another historic and important breakthrough, to Chad, a huge Muslim country bordering Libya and Sudan.
This is part of the revolution that we are doing in the Arab and Islamic worlds; I promised you that this would happen. There will be more major news. There will be more countries," Netanyahu said at Ben-Gurion International Airport.
Netanyahu's visit to Chad was announced in November during Chadian President Idriss Deby's visit to Israel.
Chad, a Muslim-majority country in central Africa, cut diplomatic relations with Israel in 1972.
