World solidarity, 20 African countries, including Ethiopia, joined 8 others which
had done so beginning in early 1972 and severed formal ties with the Jewish state
between 8 October and 12 November 1973.</ref><ref>Ethiopian Jews are Biblical, pre-Rabbinic Jews. They have the Torah (Written Law) but not the Talmud (Oral Law). Their language is not Hebrew, but Ge'ez. Their leaders are priests (kohanim) rather than rabbis. They have no knowledge or post-Biblical Jewish holidays such as Chanukah or Purim, or post-Biblical interpretations of the Law, e.g., the prohibition against mixing meat and milk. Until recently Ethiopian Jews practiced animal sacrifice, and ritual purification through immersion in water. They include observance of the Sabbath and Biblical dietary laws. They are religious Zionists - i.e., they dream of a return to Zion. They call themselves Beta Israel (House of Israel), and have wanted to live in the modern state of Israel since its establishment in 1948. They are not comparable to modern Judaism because they do not use the Talmud which developed a different perception of what their Zionism is.</ref>

===== Break with Israel =====
The 1970s saw a subtle change in the politics of the Middle East. Nasser died in September 1970 and was replaced by Anwar el-Sadat. Sadat abandoned Nasser's pan-Arabism, putting aside notions of regional grandeur. Instead, Sadat focused on the Egyptian conflict with Israel. This conflict would have dramatic consequences for the politics of the Middle East. Prior to the Arab attack on Israel in October 1973, Ethiopia had come under increasing pressure to sever relations with Israel. Much of this pressure came from the Arab nations represented in the OAU, including Libya, Algeria, Sudan, and Egypt. At the OAU's Tenth Assembly in Addis Ababa, "a Libyan proposal to place Ethiopia's relations with Israel on the agenda of the summit received staunch support from Algeria and other Afro-Arab states." Arab nationalists also campaigned for moving the headquarters of the OAU from Addis Ababa to possibly Cairo. While neither of these efforts were immediately successful, Ethiopia felt the pressure. Arab pressure for Israel to sever relations with Israel also came in the form of aid to Somalia and Eritrean insurgents. Additionally, there was pressure from within the Ethiopian government. Radical, often younger, officials within the Ethiopian government began to support the Arab cause. While Ethiopia had come to rely on Israeli technical assistance, specifically in the military realm, the pressure to sever ties was mounting. In October 1973, Ethiopia crumbled under the pressure. The resulting Israeli occupation of Egyptian territory from the Yom Kippur war vilified Israel among many African nations. Israel's friends south of the Sahara chose to support their Egyptian (and African) brother and severed their ties with their friend, Israel. "Up to five countries a day broke diplomatic relations with Israel."Only Lesotho, Malawi, and Swaziland maintained relations with Israel. On 23 October 1973, Ethiopia joined her African brothers and severed diplomatic relations with Israel. Haile Selassie chose to place solidarity with Africa above friendship with Israel. This was made evident in his keynote address to the OAU Council of Ministers in Addis Ababa in November 1973. The Emperor said, "In demonstrating their solidarity with Egypt and the other states whose territorial integrity has been violated, OAU member states are committing themselves to uphold the fundamental principles of interstate relations without which there can be neither peace nor progress." Ethiopia had at last given in to the sustained Arab pressure and subscribed to the OAU policy to isolate Israel following the Yom Kippur War. The break of relations with Israel caused the United States to tone down its support to Imperial rule in Ethiopia.
▲== Beliefs ==
State Oriental Orthodoxy believes that Oriental Orthodox Christianity should be the official state religion of the state. In this state the religion and government would help each other sometimes. Priests and the such would give advice to the government and the priests would rely on the governments patronage and contributions. The government would also help out whenever the religion is having a dispute.
