Cameroon-Israel RelationsCameroon and Israel maintain strong and close diplomatic relations, often described as one of Israel's strongest alliances in Africa. Ties date back to Cameroon's independence in 1960, were severed in 1973 after the Yom Kippur War, and restored in 1986—making Cameroon one of the first African nations to resume relations.
- Key areas of cooperation: Extensive military and security ties, including Israeli training and equipment for Cameroon's elite Rapid Intervention Battalion (BIR), arms sales (e.g., armored vehicles, rifles), agriculture, health, education, and innovation. Israel provides expertise via its MASHAV agency.
- Embassies: Israel has a resident embassy in Yaoundé (Cameroon). Cameroon has an embassy in Tel Aviv (Israel).
- Political alignment: Cameroon frequently supports Israel in international forums, abstains or votes against anti-Israel UN resolutions, and provides diplomatic backing.
- Palestine stance: Along with Eritrea, Cameroon is one of only two African countries that does not recognize the State of Palestine (as of December 2025). This reflects strategic alignment with Israel, including regime security interests for President Paul Biya.
- Current status: Relations have significantly cooled and strained since around 2020. Eritrea often votes against Israel in UN and African Union forums, opposed Israel's AU observer status, and has aligned more with Iran and groups like the Houthis (e.g., public endorsements in 2025).
- Embassies: Eritrea maintains an embassy in Ramat Gan (near Tel Aviv, Israel). Israel closed its embassy in Asmara in 2022 due to access issues and strained ties; no resident representation since.
- Palestine stance: Like Cameroon, Eritrea does not recognize the State of Palestine, making it one of the two African holdouts.
- Other factors: Historical security cooperation has diminished; concerns over Eritrea's ports potentially aiding Iranian proxies in the Red Sea have heightened tensions, though no direct conflict.
