‎The aim is to work together on areas where assistance is most needed.

‎He added that details of intelligence cooperation will remain confidential to ensure effectiveness.

‎The ambassador stated that Netanyahu’s concern is not limited to Nigeria.

‎The Israeli Prime Minister has expressed support for Christians worldwide.

‎He highlighted that Israel is the only Middle Eastern country where the Christian population is growing.

‎The ambassador also pointed out that behind-the-scenes discussions will continue between the two countries.

‎“We will be led by the Nigerian government as to where we can work and partner to help tackle insecurity as a whole within the country.
