THREAD: 🇵🇸 🇮🇱 #AfricanUnion summit 2024 #Gaza
As the continental body gathered in Ethiopia for their annual meeting, a high level Israeli delegation led by Yaakov Blitshtein (Director General Foreign Affairs) landed in Addis Ababa, hoping to deliver a speech on Israel's version of events vis a vis Gaza.
Al Jazeera reports that the delegation was denied access to the African Union headquarters. Israel which gained AU observer status in 2022, has that status suspended.
