Djibouti refuses to establish ties with Zionist regime

The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan were the first Arab nations to establish relations with Zionist regime since Egypt in 1979 and Jordan in 1994.

The Palestinian officials and people condemned the establishment of ties with the occupation as a "treacherous stab to the Palestinian cause".

In an interview with French publication the Africa Report this week, Guelleh said that "the conditions aren't ripe".

We take issue with the Israeli government because they're denying Palestinians their inalienable rights he said. "All we ask that the government do is make one gesture of peace, and we will make 10 in return. But I'm afraid they'll never do that."
