Israel-Cameroon relations

Israel
Cameroon

Israel–Cameroon relations are relations between the State of Israel and the Republic of Cameroon, two Judaeo-Christian nations of Afro-Eurasia. Cameroon joins Eritrea as one of two African states that do not recognize the State of Palestine.

Cameroon voted against several anti-Israel UN resolutions, and was the only nation to join Israel in voting against the UN resolution "Assistance to Palestine Refugees"[1]

Cameroon cut ties with Israel from 1973 to 1986[2] and was one of the first states to restore relations.[3] The government of Cameroon uses Israeli armored vehicles,[4] and Cameroon's Rapid Reaction Force, often shortened (by its French name) to BIR, is equipped and trained by Israel.[5][6]

Students in Cameroon were granted 11 month visas to travel to Israel and learn about agriculture,[7] while poultry farmers underwent training for poultry production in Israel[8]

Israelis also trained personnel at six hospitals in Cameroon on how to combat the Ebola virus[9]
