Israel's FM holds talks with Somaliland president on historic visit
Gideon Saar said Israel is committed to advancing relations with Somaliland "with momentum", while President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi described the visit as a "big day".
Last month, Israel became the first country in the world to officially recognise Somaliland, which declared independence from Somalia over 30 years ago. Somalia considers Somaliland part of its territory and condemned Saar’s visit as "unacceptable interference" in its internal affairs.
Saar stated on X that his discussions with Abdullahi covered the "entirety of our relations" between the two countries.
Responding to criticism over Israel’s recognition of Somaliland, Saar clarified that the decision was not made "against anyone" and emphasized, "Only Israel will determine for itself who it recognises."
