  Senegal and Guinea are sending their first-ever ambassadors to Israel next week, as Israel continues to expand its outreach to Africa. While both countries had existing diplomatic ties with the Jewish state, neither has ever appointed an ambassador to Israel. Earlier this week, Cape Verde announced it will no longer vote against Israel at the UN. (Times of Israel)
