Israel tells Malawi to meddle in Middle east politics
Israel has told Malawi to confront Iran for allegedly sponsoring terrorists who attack the Jewish state, according to the Times of Israel.
Israel’s foreign minister Gabi Ashkenazi said this on Tuesday in Israel when he held a joint press conference with his Malawian counterpart, Eisenhower Mkaka.
Ashkenazi also requested Malawi to publicly outlaw the Tehran backed Lebanese organization, Hezbollah which Israel, US and other Western countries label as a terrorist organisation.
Mkaka did not immediately respond to the issues raised by Ashkenazi during the press conference.
However, Ashkenazi hailed Malawi’s decision to open an embassy in Jerusalem, making Malawi the first African country to do so and the third in the world after the US and Guatamala.
Ashkenazi pledged his country’s help in Malawi’s development programs.
“We will help Malawi build a better future, for the next generation,” he said.
Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, also hailed Malawi’s decision to have a mission in Jerusalem.
“Thank you, Malawi, for recognizing the historic truth that Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the Jewish people and the state of Israel,” he says in a tweet.
Malawi, mostly a Christian country, has no embassy in Israel and Israel’s ambassador to Malawi is based in Nairobi, Kenya.
Where are the so called Acedimic Comentetors of Chancellor College come up here …lets debate .foreign Policy issues here .
MUZIMALIZA MUKUZIYAMBAZO?OK PAJA MUKUTI ‘DON’T WORRY ,BE HAPPY’
Listen you clueless people who are making stupid comments here: Israel is is our sister country, it has been so since memory in time. But Bakili Muluzi is the one who fooled the Malawians by trying to change the relationship with his islamic mentality…. bringing a tsunami of mosques into every corner of our country and almost turning Malawi into an Iranian province! Guess what! We put a stop to that. and now we are on the right path.
some of these comments are direct attack to the Muslims -tread carefully with these comments though it’s your birthright
You are hallucinating.
Simply a fools rambling’s. Go scratch your balls if you have nothing of note to contribute.
Anthu ngati inu ndiamene safunika mu Malawi walero ….Did Muluzi nyoza Israels ? the thing is that Malawi is a Peace loving Nation means we accomodate both Palestines &Israels not taking sides .
Do you think Israel will come open an Embassy in Malawi ? forget it …to what advantage will they gain …Jerusalem is still a restricted area according to UN charter .open in Tel Aviv .if you want .
The problems in the middle east were started by Abraham and Isaac, They failed to love their children equally, resulting in the enemity of the children and their descendants. We were not part of it. Mkaka was wise not to comment. We don’t have the capacity to confront Iran which even the Israelis are failing to deal with.
If u read genesis 13 in KJV it says Abram left Egypt and went up out of Egypt into the south(sub Saharan Africa)where the original alter of the he lord had been…the same verse in later versions is completely changed…this is deeper than surface politics have u ever heard of Hebrew Israelites?they are black Africans like yourself who live in DIMONA Israel and claim to be the real Israelites based off biblical prophecy…the current state was created after second world war and one man who helpd initiated this was CICIL RHODES same man who enslaved sub Saharan Africa…The ASHKENAZI Jews are eastern Europeans who claim to be from the tribe of Judea…which is rediculus because common sense should tell u that whites cannot live and survive in a dessert environment without the modern tech they have no so to even equate them to biblical Israelites is a stretch for some1 who uses their head to analyse issues critically..

We already had diplomatic ties with Israel. Why not leave it at that? I can’t help but think that Laz is doing all these extra things (having an embassy in Jerusalem, having a state visit) not because it’s in our national interest, but rather because of personal reasons: he’s a born-again religious zealot, and damn be the consequences. Tidya sovereignty yomweyi chaka chino!
We need leaders who have understanding of history and world affairs. This is not about the bible. Malawi has nothing to gain from confronting Iran or any islamic countries. Leave them alone. We do not want to be targeted.
Why cant they assist their brothers the Palestinians who are locked in Gaza and West Bank.This is double Standards
Absolutely!
We have our own battles at hand to fight. We shouldn’t be enlisted into someone’s fight for their hate of other nations that we have no beef with.
Enticing to help us develop if we fight their battles is an insult. What a stupid thing to say. This is how we Africans were taken to the frontlines of the so called world wars, wars that had nothing to do with us. Wars that weren’t world wars but branded so for propaganda reasons. We Africans fought for the liberation of Europeans and our forefathers sacrificed their lives for the freedom of the white oppressors. They had us in their trenches fighting against the oppression of their citizens and future generations whilst on the other side they, at the very same time, they were in our countries exploiting us, killing us, rapping us, oppressing us, using us till they denied us.
Now here we are again, wanting Africans to join in some battles that we know not about. Battles that are not ours. We are not idiots. How can a whole state speak like this to another state, unless they think they are talking to stupids.
African child, UKUONA?
Kuyiputa Boko haram paseli pompa pa Mozambique ilipo. Mu Tanzania umu. Umenewu nde uchitsilu. Chakwera is a very clueless man.
Precisely why we should not be opening an embassy in Jerusalem. There are no free lunches in this world. You have to give something in return. Nde ndi izitu. Akuti mutukwane ma gentlemen a zipolopolo.
Chakwera dont know what history is all about. Does he think today’s Israel is the Biblic one …shame read your Bible Mr Reverend ….can have time to teach you the Bible …and who the Zionist are and what they are for ….Stop taking your Nation into deeper things you dont know .
Genesis 13 MU king James version…Abram went up out here f Egypt into the south (sub Saharan) where the originals alter of the lord had been….but the same verse is chang d in later versions… coincidence?
Today’s Israel is not Biblic one read your Bible correctly .Genesis to Rev elation .or else contact me to have adiscusion on that.
But for today plz even through Google check for ZIONIST get to know and understand who are they and what they stand for. Even Trump himself is a ZIONIST .kkkkkkkk paja kumphunzira sikumathaa lets keep it up ….The truth and only the truth will set you free…….
nde inu mungaidziwe history kuposa Chakwera???? kaya mukut ma verse anasinthidwa nde mukuona ngat mukuziziwa nokha kut Chakwerayo sakuzidziwa?? poti iyenso nde akuziziwa zonsezo kwambirinso kuposa inu….
Amwene ife History ndeee food on the table .then we read the Bible as history too then watch the current history and come up with the knowledge that has an impact to you on your day to day basis .Tell Mr Chakwera to go through the 1967 UN chrter on the Jerusalem issue . or go to it yourself Google it .now history made life easy Just Google .
Instead of helping Malawi with irrigation, the Israeli government wants Malawi to help them fight Iran. These Jews are bad, no wonder they abandoned christ and all other jah prophets.
Scratch my back it’s called. Israel owes us nothing.
All those who love the truth know that Malawi won’t benefit much from this display of stupidity and ignorance about international relations. We all know that this is being done to facilitate Chakwera’s ease of movement when he visits the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem for his prayers.
Chakwera and team, please don’t do this. We got enough problems already than to start worrying about who to make enemies with.
We are inviting bees to come and bite us. Malawi is not a sovereign country politically and economically so much that it can not afford to have a single enemy country globally. How did we arrive at this choice? Biblically maybe? In some of these things It’s better to be underdogs otherwise we are becoming a pawn entity
This is what we call asking for trouble.
You want to meddle in middle east politics,you can’t even feed your own people.
Is it about making a name? At least Mkaka had the sense not to comment..
Malawi brace yourself you will become a pon in a war which will be way over your heads.
We are very poor and so far away to solve the Iranian or Palestinian problems, chakwera do not listen to this devlish talk from Israel. Israel is rich country and can afford to antagonise anyone, Malawi on the other hand needs to befriend every country. Malawi does not have enemy countries.
kodi mmesa munati God will bless us for aligning ourselves to Israel. Lero ndi izi.What will you do?
