Not only that, but Breaking Israel News reports that Jonathan is also signed a Bilateral Air Services Agreement between Nigeria and Israel, making them allies united in the global war on terror.

A report in AllAfrica quotes the Nigerian president as having said, "I seek the cooperation of your country to confront the security threat from terrorist groups that my country is now facing. There is no doubt that Israel has had decades of experience in combating terrorism."

"My administration will also welcome the greater deployment of Israel's renowned expertise in furtherance of Nigeria's agenda for national transformation in areas such as healthcare, agriculture, electric power supply, and the management of water resources."

While in Jerusalem, President Jonathan reportedly visited the Holocaust Memorial as well, laying a wreath in the Hall of Remembrance and lighting a candle in honor of the dead.
