Israel Allies Foundation Expands with Six New African Caucuses
Following Israel’s strategic victory over Iran, African nations reaffirm support and deepen diplomatic ties with Jerusalem.

In a landmark development for faith-based diplomacy, the Israel Allies Foundation (IAF) has expanded its international network by launching six new pro-Israel parliamentary caucuses across Africa. The new groups were established on July 7 in Ethiopia, Ivory Coast, Lesotho, Seychelles, Gabon, and Guinea-Conakry further cementing Africa’s growing alignment with the Jewish state.
This expansion follows Israel’s recent success in the 12-day war with Iran and builds upon the momentum from the Africa-Israel Parliamentary Summit held last September in Addis Ababa. There, more than 40 lawmakers from 20 African countries gathered to voice unwavering support for Israel and to affirm their recognition of Jerusalem as its eternal capital.
The creation of these caucuses marks more than diplomatic progress it’s a reaffirmation of shared values rooted in faith, mutual respect, and visionary cooperation.
Reverend MP Paul Pusetso Masiu, who chairs the newly formed Lesotho Israel Allies Caucus, expressed hope for a stronger bilateral relationship: “The ultimate intention is to establish much stronger binational relations between Lesotho and Israel, to the extent that Lesotho establishes an embassy in Jerusalem and Israel in Lesotho.”
Bishop Dennis Nthumbi, the IAF’s African director, delivered a powerful statement of solidarity: “Let the world take note: Africa stands with Israel, not as a political bloc, but as a family restored.” Quoting Psalm 122:6, he added, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem may those who love you be secure.”
This diplomatic stride underscores the IAF’s mission to connect global leaders through faith-based advocacy for Israel. The organization's expansion reflects the widespread resonance of its vision uniting nations through shared moral convictions and practical collaboration in areas such as agriculture, innovation, and governance.
Josh Reinstein, president of the IAF, highlighted the deeper significance of this moment: “The creation of these six new caucuses is more than a diplomatic milestone; it is a powerful affirmation of our shared biblical values and a forward-looking vision for partnership, prosperity, and peace.”
As Israel builds new bridges across the African continent, it does so not only through politics and economics, but through a powerful connection rooted in history, faith, and mutual destiny. The result is a dynamic alliance that continues to bring hope and purpose to both Israel and its growing circle of friends.
