Chadian President Mahamat Deby, in Israel to open an embassy on Thursday, heard his hosts' concern about what they described as the clout of their arch-foes Iran and Hezbollah in Africa's Sahel region.
Israel only confirmed Deby's visit on Wednesday, the day after he arrived. The trip included a rare stop at the Mossad intelligence headquarters - a sign that bilateral ties re-established five years ago have national security importance.
