Israel has officially recognized the Republic of Somaliland as an independent and sovereign state. The announcement was made following the signing of a joint mutual declaration by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa"ar, and Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi (Cirro).
This recognition aligns with the spirit of the Abraham Accords, which aim to foster peace and cooperation in the region. Israel is now the first United Nations member state to formally recognize Somaliland since it declared independence in 1991.
The move marks a significant development in international relations for both Israel and Somaliland, as they seek to strengthen their diplomatic ties.
