Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stressed on Wednesday that he was not seeking to replace Washington as Israel’s closest ally, as he wrapped up his fourth visit to Moscow in a year, which had touted the increasingly warm ties between Israel and Russia.

He mentioned an upcoming trip to Africa as another example of this strategy. “Israel is opening up to the world,” he said.
