Israel Recognizes Somaliland, Sparks Regional Backlash
Update: 2025-12-27
Description
Israels recognition of Somaliland as an independent nation, the first in over three decades, has sparked international backlash. The arid region, strategically located near the Gulf of Aden, has been claimed by Somaliland since its breakaway from Somalia in 1991. Israels move, with unclear motives, has been criticized by over twenty countries and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation for threatening regional and global security. The United States, Somalia, Syria, African Union, and IGAD have rejected the recognition, viewing it as a violation of Somalias sovereignty and UN rules. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu sees it as part of the Abraham Accords spirit, but the region braces for potential instability.
