cultural, religious and people to people relations with the Middle East countries. It is to be noted that Ethiopia was the first country to provide sanctuary and hospitality to the followers of Prophet Mohammed in the First Hijra (pilgrimage), which could be seen as the best illustration of the long standing historical ties between Ethiopia and the Arab World. Christian religion, remained to be largely practiced in Ethiopia for years, which originated in the Middle East and an ancient version of the Jewish religion was also practiced in Ethiopia.</li><li style="font-weight: 300; text-align: justify;">Due to geographic proximity, historical, cultural, trade, people to people and religious attachments, millions of Ethiopians reside in the Middle East. Some go there for religious purposes and others seeking job opportunities. They are among sources of remittances for their country. Protection of their rights and dignity has become priority agenda for the Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia in its relations with most of the Middle East countries.</li><li style="font-weight: 300; text-align: justify;">The geo-politics of the Middle East is strongly linked to the Horn of Africa sub-region where Ethiopia is located and the region currently has attracted major international players to the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden to ensure their national interests. The establishment of military base of the great powers and the emerging powers in the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea areas make the situation more complex and demands Ethiopia’s interaction and strong cooperation with all the Middle East countries to ensure its national interest.</li><li style="font-weight: 300; text-align: justify;">The Middle East influence in the area, the hydro politics, the Security interest and power in the Horn of Africa calls for Ethiopia’s high level attention.</li><li style="font-weight: 300; text-align: justify;">Crisis in the area, piracy, religious extremism and terrorism, human trafficking, illegal movement of small arms and money laundering as well as the recent developments in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden need cooperation and coordination of efforts of the Horn of Africa and the Middle East countries.</li><li style="font-weight: 300; text-align: justify;">As a result of these historical, cultural, security and the growing economic factors Ethiopia opened embassies and consulates in countries like the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Israel, Oman, Kuwait, Yemen and Lebanon. It is also working towards opening new missions in other countries in near future. The Middle East countries like the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Israel, Qatar, Yemen, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Iran, Jordan and Palestine on their parts have also opened embassies in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.</li><li style="font-weight: 300; text-align: justify;">Generally, Ethiopia has a long-standing friendly relationship with countries of the Middle East in terms of language, history, culture, religion and business and so would like to further strengthen the existing relations and also widen its missions. That is why the Middle East is one of the regions that deserve special attention in Ethiopia’s foreign relations and national security policy.</li></ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ba2dce3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default" data-id="ba2dce3" data-element_type="section"> <div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default"> <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4d393b7" data-id="4d393b7" data-element_type="column"> <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-c466b63 elementor-widget-divider--view-line_icon elementor-view-default elementor-widget-divider--element-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider" data-id="c466b63" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="divider.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-divider"> <span class="elementor-divider-separator"> <div class="elementor-icon elementor-divider__element"> <svg aria-hidden="true" class="e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-circle-down" viewBox="0 0 512 512" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M504 256c0 137-111 248-248 248S8 393 8 256 119 8 256 8s248 111 248 248zM273 369.9l135.5-135.5c9.4-9.4 9.4-24.6 0-33.9l-17-17c-9.4-9.4-24.6-9.4-33.9 0L256 285.1 154.4 183.5c-9.4-9.4-24.6-9.4-33.9 0l-17 17c-9.4 9.4-9.4 24.6 0 33.9L239 369.9c9.4 9.4 24.6 9.4 34 0z"></path></svg></div> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-85a7c6e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default" data-id="85a7c6e" data-element_type="section"> <div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default"> <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4c52070" data-id="4c52070" data-element_type="column"> <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-4d4de97 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle" data-id="4d4de97" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="toggle.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-toggle"> <div class="elementor-toggle-item"> <div id="elementor-tab-title-8101" class="elementor-tab-title" data-tab="1" role="button" aria-controls="elementor-tab-content-8101" aria-expanded="false"> <span class="elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left" aria-hidden="true"> <span class="elementor-toggle-icon-closed"><svg class="e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-right" viewBox="0 0 192 512" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M0 384.662V127.338c0-17.818 21.543-26.741 34.142-14.142l128.662 128.662c7.81 7.81 7.81 20.474 0 28.284L34.142 398.804C21.543 411.404 0 402.48 0 384.662z"></path></svg></span> <span class="elementor-toggle-icon-opened"><svg class="elementor-toggle-icon-opened e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-up" viewBox="0 0 320 512" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M288.662 352H31.338c-17.818 0-26.741-21.543-14.142-34.142l128.662-128.662c7.81-7.81 20.474-7.81 28.284 0l128.662 128.662c12.6 12.599 3.676 34.142-14.142 34.142z"></path></svg></span> </span> <a class="elementor-toggle-title" tabindex="0">Ethio - Israel Relation </a> </div> <div id="elementor-tab-content-8101" class="elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix" data-tab="1" role="region" aria-labelledby="elementor-tab-title-8101"><p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-1236 alignright" src="http://localhost:8080/mfa/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/ethio-israel-300x240.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="240" srcset="https://mfa.gov.et/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/ethio-israel-300x240.jpg 300w, https://mfa.gov.et/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/ethio-israel.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p><ul><li style="font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;">It is believed that the relationship between Ethiopia and Israel is started during king Solomon of Israel and Queen Saba (Sheba), during the ancient kingdoms of Damat and Axum in present-day Ethiopia.</li><li style="font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;">An ancient version of the Jewish religion was practiced in Ethiopia.
