Pro-Palestinian activists confronted ‘Israeli’ Ambassador Yuval Waks during his speech at an interfaith conference in Dakar, Senegal.
The event, held around November 20, 2025, saw demonstrators interrupting the proceedings with chants and statements denouncing ‘Israel's’ presence.

Chants of "Free, free Palestine!" echoed through the venue, with one activist saying, "It is unacceptable to invite the Israeli ambassador in a place like this."
Others shouted, "The Israeli ambassador doesn't belong here!" and labeled Israel a "terrorist entity."

The disruption led to the expulsion of the protesters from the event, allowing the conference to continue.
According to reports, security personnel intervened to remove the activists, restoring order after the brief confrontation.
This marks the second notable incident involving Ambassador Waks in Senegal this year. In May 2025, he was forced to leave Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar amid similar pro-Palestinian protests, where students waved flags and booed him off campus.
The protests reflect growing anti-‘Israel’ sentiment in parts of Africa, fueled by ongoing assault on Gaza.
