Somalia’s President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has again condemned Israel’s recognition of Somaliland, calling it a threat to Somalia’s sovereignty and regional stability, and renewing calls for dialogue with Somaliland.

Israel’s opposition leader Yair Lapid accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of bypassing cabinet approval in recognising Somaliland, as Somalia and key regional actors condemned the move as destabilising.

Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud told parliament Israel’s recognition of Somaliland violates international law, threatens Somalia’s sovereignty and will be challenged through diplomatic and legal action.

Somalia’s prime minister alleges Israel’s recognition of Somaliland is tied to military and intelligence ambitions near key Red Sea trade routes, warning of regional and maritime security risks in the Horn of Africa.
