Tshisekedi also visited Jerusalem's Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial, touring its history museum and Hall of Names before laying a wreath and rekindling the Memorial Flame in memory of six million Jewish victims. In 2021, he became the first Congolese head of state to visit the memorial.

In July, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar and DRC Foreign Minister Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner signed memoranda of understanding on diplomatic training, agriculture, health care and technology. Israel also delivered three tons of medical aid to the DRC to help address an Ebola outbreak.

Tshisekedi announced in 2023 that the DRC would move its embassy to Jerusalem, with Israel planning to open an embassy in Kinshasa in return, though both moves have been delayed. The two nations established diplomatic relations in 1960, severed them in 1973 and restored ties in the early 1980s.

Tshisekedi's visit comes amid domestic pressure over proposed constitutional changes, which sparked street protests in Kinshasa in June. Critics accuse the president of seeking to extend his rule beyond the two-term limit, while Tshisekedi has denied plans to remain in office beyond 2028.

Israel donated ambulances and medical equipment to Nigeria, with the first consignment handed over at the Port of Ashdod by Magen David Adom. The shipment follows a February pledge to donate between 50 and 60 ambulances, with personnel training also planned.

An Africa Intelligence investigation found that two RSF delegations traveled to Tel Aviv — one in May 2025 and another in February 2026 — meeting with officials from Israel's foreign ministry Africa Division and Israeli intelligence. The contacts reportedly built on a security and intelligence partnership that predated Sudan's war, which began in April 2023.

The Israel-DRC partnership is a model for what smart diplomacy looks like — security cooperation, agricultural development, health care aid and technology sharing all moving forward together. Tshisekedi's visit to Jerusalem delivered tangible results, including new agreements and a shared commitment to implementation, not just signatures on paper. Africa and Israel are building a deeper relationship that looks increasingly durable and mutually beneficial.

Israel's expanding African partnerships deserve scrutiny, not celebration — covert military ties to the RSF, a militia documented as committing genocide in Sudan, reveal a troubling pattern of prioritizing strategic interests over human rights. Bilateral deals dressed up as friendship and cooperation obscure a harder truth about how these relationships function on the ground. Agreements, pledges and photo ops do not erase complicity in atrocities.
