Why Ruto's Trip to Israel Should be Concerning for Azimio and the President's Dissenters
In my view, Kenyans stand with the Palestinians and their plight and the Kenyan President should have resisted his trip and the call for an upgrade of relations with Israel.
Kenyan President William Ruto's trip to Israel is concerning. Israel is a country that deploys some very baleful (harmful) 'security' technologies especially when it comes to espionage. Even more, Israel has continually persecuted the Palestinians and Kenya, as a peace-loving country, has no business "upgrading" relations with Israel, including seeking collaboration on the security front.
In Israel for an official visit.
I will have engagements with PM @netanyahu Agriculture Ministe Uri Ariel and Knesset (Parliament).

Israel has Continually and Fervently Persecuted Palestinians
Kenya is a peace-loving country and a peacekeeper in the East and Central regions of Africa. As such, it's President William Ruto, who's under increasingly heated dissent from the opposition party Azimio, has no business making a trip there to, among other things, seek Israel's help when it comes to security.
