==Jewish community and religious life==
===History===
No historic Jewish community was found in Senegal. [[Chabad-Lubavitch|Chabad]] describes it as "a country that has never had" a permanent Jewish presence.<ref name="Kin35" />

===The community today===
No organised Jewish community body was found in Senegal. Before 2026 Jewish life was limited to holiday visits by Chabad from Kinshasa (see below).

'''How far is it Zionist?''' No Zionist federation, Israeli fundraising body or communal organisation was found in Senegal. The planned Chabad centre will be a religious, not a Zionist, institution.

===Chabad===
:''Main article: [[Chabad Lubavitch of Senegal]]''
In May 2026, at a gathering in Kinshasa marking 35 years of Chabad of Central Africa, Chabad announced "a new Chabad center opening in Senegal", with "another young couple soon to establish a permanent Jewish presence". The emissaries were not named.<ref name="Kin35" /> The [[Alliance of Rabbis in Islamic States]] lists no rabbi in Senegal.<ref name="ARIS">Alliance of Rabbis in Islamic States, [https://www.rabbisalliance.org/about/the-rabbis/ The Rabbis] ''rabbisalliance.org'', accessed 21 October 2026 (partisan).</ref>

==Zionist movement and advocacy==
No organised Zionist movement was found in Senegal. The country's diplomacy leans the other way:
*It has chaired the Palestinian rights committee continuously since 1975, and was re-elected for 2026 under its UN ambassador, Coly Seck.<ref name="UN2026" />
*In July 2023 it submitted a written statement to the [[International Court of Justice]] in the General Assembly's request for an advisory opinion, ''Legal Consequences arising from the Policies and Practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem''. The request concerned the legal consequences of the Zionist state's "prolonged occupation, settlement and annexation of the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967".<ref name="ICJ2023">Government of Senegal, [https://www.icj-cij.org/node/203574 Written statement of Senegal] ''International Court of Justice'', 28 July 2023 (partisan).</ref>
*In June 2024 Prime Minister [[Ousmane Sonko]] publicly urged the president to join South Africa's genocide case against "Israel" at the ICJ.<ref name="Impact2024">''Impact.sn'', [https://www.impact.sn/Gaza-Ousmane-Sonko-pousse-le-Senegal-a-rejoindre-l-Afrique-du-Sud-contre-Israel-devant-la-CIJ_a46004.html Gaza : Ousmane Sonko pousse le Sénégal à rejoindre l'Afrique du Sud contre Israël devant la CIJ] ''Impact.sn'', June 2024.</ref> No source was found showing that Senegal has joined the case.

==Israeli state and commercial ties==
===Resolution 2334 and the 2017 reconciliation===
Egypt withdrew its draft resolution on settlements after "Israel" asked President-elect [[Donald Trump]] to intervene. Senegal, Malaysia, New Zealand and Venezuela then put it forward again.<ref name="BBC2016">''BBC News'', [https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-38425512 Israel settlements: Netanyahu rejects 'shameful' UN vote] ''BBC News'', 24 December 2016.</ref> After it passed 14–0 on 23 December 2016, [[Benjamin Netanyahu]] retaliated:
*the ambassadors to Senegal and New Zealand were recalled;
*a planned visit by Senegal's foreign minister was cancelled;
*all aid programmes to Senegal were cut.<ref name="Guardian2016" /><ref name="BBC2016" />
On 4 June 2017 Netanyahu met President [[Macky Sall]] at the ECOWAS summit in Monrovia, Liberia, and the two restored relations. Under the deal, "Israel" would return its ambassador and Senegal would support the Zionist state's bid for observer status at the African Union.<ref name="VOA2017" /> According to Netanyahu's office, the two leaders also agreed to cooperate on security and agriculture, and suspended joint projects would resume.<ref name="INN2017">Ben Ariel, [https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/230551 Israel and Senegal renew diplomatic ties] ''Israel National News'', 5 June 2017 (partisan).</ref> A Senegalese outlet later wrote that during his 12 years in office Sall had built "very close ties" with "Israel", especially on security and agriculture.<ref name="Impact2024" />

===Agriculture===
In 2010 the Israeli agriculture minister, Shalom Simhon, opened a drip-irrigation "field school" for university students in Dakar. At that time "Israel" was training farmers in Senegal, Ivory Coast and Gabon.<ref name="VOA2010">''Voice of America'', [https://www.voanews.com/a/israel-teaches-irrigation-methods-to-senegalese-farming-students-92201004/161562.html Israel Teaches Irrigation Methods to Senegalese Farming Students] ''VOA'', 26 April 2010.</ref>

===Arms===
The [[Stockholm International Peace Research Institute]] records Israeli deliveries to Senegal:
*RAM armoured vehicles (5 in 2014 and 50 in 2015–17);
*five second-hand EE-11 Urutu armoured personnel carriers (2015);
*four Shaldag patrol boats (2019–20).<ref name="SIPRI">Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, [https://armstransfers.sipri.org SIPRI Arms Transfers Database] ''SIPRI'', accessed 20 October 2026.</ref>
These deliveries continued through the 2016–17 diplomatic row.

===Trade===
The Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics records Israeli exports to Senegal of $6.5 million in 2025 (2024: $19.6 million), and Israeli imports from Senegal of $3.0 million (2024: $4.2 million).<ref name="CBS">Central Bureau of Statistics (Israel), [https://www.cbs.gov.il/he/publications/DocLib/2026/fr_trade12_2025/td1.pdf Foreign Trade Statistics Monthly, Table D1: Trade Countries – Imports and Exports] ''CBS'', December 2025 issue (library copy) (partisan).</ref>

==Migration and aliyah==
The Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics does not list Senegal separately in its table of immigrants by country of birth.<ref name="CBSAliyah">Central Bureau of Statistics (Israel), [https://www.cbs.gov.il/he/publications/DocLib/2024/2.ShnatonPopulation/st02_55.pdf Statistical Abstract of Israel 2024, Table 2.55: Immigrants, by period of immigration, country of birth and last country of residence] ''CBS'', 2024 (partisan).</ref>

==Political interference==
The 2016 measures were retaliation for Senegal's vote at the Security Council. The settlement exchanged the restoration of Israeli aid and an ambassador for Senegal's support of the Zionist state's African Union bid.<ref name="Guardian2016" /><ref name="VOA2017" />

No credible sourced link between [[Jeffrey Epstein]] and Zionist or Israeli activity in Senegal was found, so this page has no Epstein section.
