Israeli President Isaac Herzog visited Ethiopia on Tuesday, days after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proposed a "hexagon of alliances" including Israel, India, Greece, and Cyprus to counter Iran and allied groups. The visit, Ethiopia's first Israeli presidential trip since 2018, represents Israel's deepening engagement in Africa amid declining continental support following Gaza operations, with observers noting competition for influence from Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
