The Israeli government has asked Ethiopia to cooperate in combating terrorism in the Middle East and Africa, describing terrorism as a common enemy for both countries.<\/p>\n

At a press conference in Jerusalem by Israeli and Ethiopian Foreign Ministers Gideon Sa\u2019ar and Gedion Timotheos, Sa\u2019ar said that there is a connection between the Al-Shabaab and Houthis groups that are at war with Israel, and therefore it is necessary for the two countries to cooperate in combating them.<\/p>\n

\u201cTerrorism is a common threat, we see extremist groups in the region such as Hamas, Hezbollah, Syrian jihadists and Al-Shabaab. Terrorism must be eradicated,\u201d Sa\u2019ar said, as reported by The Times of Israel.<\/p>\n

He said that Ethiopia plays a major role in the fight against Al-Shabaab, and that the Houthis pose a threat to Israel’s security and trade routes in the Red Sea, seeing the alleged link between Al-Shabaab and the Houthis as a threat, and believing that both groups should be fought together.<\/p>\n

Israel sees a threat to the recent US-reported link between the Al-Shabaab group, which is part of the Al-Qaeda organization, and the Houthis in Yemen, who are angry about Israel’s war on Gaza and who have been attacking Israeli commercial ships.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Ethiopia, one of the landlocked countries that trade through the Red Sea, sees the Houthis as a threat, and has repeatedly stated that Addis Ababa is important in playing a role in Red Sea security.<\/p>\n

The governments of Israel and Ethiopia have said they are further strengthening their cooperative relations. Sa\u2019ar said that relations between Ethiopia and Israel date back to biblical times, and a Jewish community lives in Ethiopia.<\/p>\n
