“Israel is willing to send consultants to Kenya to help Kenya secure its cities from terrorist threats and share experience with Kenya because the operation in Somalia is very similar to Israel’s operations in the past, first in Lebanon and then in Gaza Strip,” the envoy said.


The announcement came as Defence Minister Yusuf Haji said the government was only seeking the support of economic and political blocs such as Igad, the African Union, the European Union and the UN Security Council to fight the militants.
