In a recent program on Israel's Channel 14, Israeli strategic advisor Noga Arbel called for Biafra's independence and the end of British influence in Nigeria during a televised discussion. Arbel, a former Israeli Foreign Ministry official, stated that Biafra has been under Nigerian control for decades due to British colonialism and that it is time for the Israeli government to demand Britain's withdrawal of support for Nigeria and recognize Biafra's independence.
IPOB, the Indigenous People of Biafra, hailed the Israeli media endorsement as a significant diplomatic breakthrough. Rachel Nwosu, IPOB's Israel-based representative, declared that the development represents "the single most significant breakthrough in Biafra's diplomatic history." She noted that the Israel Broadcasting Authority, widely regarded as Israel's most influential conservative platform with direct access to high-level power, explicitly called for the Israeli government to intervene and demand Britain's withdrawal of support for Nigeria.
The Channel 14 broadcast followed an IPOB delegation's reception by the Knesset, Israel's national legislature, in July 2026. The delegation, led by Mazi Chris Nwaogu, was warmly received by Deputy Speaker Nissim Vaturi and Deputy Chairman of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Security Committee, Limor Son Har-Melech. IPOB described the Knesset's sympathy for Biafra's plight and concern over Nnamdi Kanu's detention as a milestone in the organization's diplomatic outreach.
IPOB expressed its belief that an independent Biafra would serve as a safe haven for persecuted Judeo-Christians in Nigeria, signaling the end of Nigerian tyranny. The group emphasized that the Israeli media endorsement lent legitimacy to their narrative, drawing from historical and cultural claims long advanced by Igbo communities. IPOB warned that the implications for Nigeria are catastrophic, with their actions potentially unraveling the country's territorial integrity.
