LIVE: Israeli Minister's First Visit To Somaliland After Recognition | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Israel has officially recognised Somaliland as a sovereign state, marking a historic shift in the geopolitics of the Horn of Africa. Following over 30 years of Somaliland seeking international legitimacy, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar visited Hargeisa to finalise full diplomatic ties and discuss the territory’s entry into the Abraham Accords. This move has drawn sharp condemnation from the Arab League and the Somali government in Mogadishu, which labelled the visit an “unauthorised incursion.” The burgeoning alliance is deeply strategic: Somaliland gains the elusive global recognition it seeks, while Israel secures a vital foothold near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait—a critical maritime chokepoint. With Somaliland’s proximity to Yemen, analysts suggest the partnership offers Israel a tactical advantage against Iran-backed Houthi forces.
