Arab Nations Criticize Israel’s Recognition of Somaliland

Arab countries condemned Israel’s recognition of Somaliland as a sovereign state, viewing it as a violation of international law and an affront to Somalia’s sovereignty. Saudi Arabia, Palestine, Egypt, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, and Qatar emphasized their support for Somalia’s territorial integrity and rejected any actions that could destabilize the region. They warned that such unilateral moves undermine international law and threaten regional security. Somaliland, which declared independence in 1991, is not recognized by Somalia’s government, which sees it as part of its territory.
