Abstract

The research dealt with the terrorist acts that Kenya was subjected to and their impact on its relations with Israel, and the aim is to prove that these terrorist acts in Kenya are an indirect way to attack Israel, in addition to the Kenyan foreign policy tending to cooperate with Israel to achieve its interests in all fields, especially the military. The Israeli military field pays great attention to providing military aid to Kenya, as the Israeli presence in Kenya aims to form an intelligence axis (Nairobi-Addis Ababa) through which Israel can surround Arab national security in general, and threaten Egyptian security in particular, as foreign and Arab newspapers revealed that hundreds of soldiers Since independence, especially during the term of PresidentMoi, Kenyans have received training in Israel, then they were trained in Kenya by Israeli trainers. Israel trained the Public Services Unit on methods of suppressing unrest and combating terrorism.

The research dealt with that period using the methodology of historical research of the facts based on documents, analyzing them and tracking them chronologically, by studying terrorist acts in recent years since before the term of President Moi and during his presidency, including the Entebbe operation, the Norfolk Hotel bombing, and the bombing of the American embassy in Nairobi, the Kikambala Hotel bombing, and the impact of those terrorist acts on the Kenyan-Israeli relations. The research concluded the strategic importance of Kenya at the level of international terrorism, whether for its neighbors, the Nile Basin countries or European countries.
