Dec 26 (Reuters) - Israel has recognised Somaliland, a breakaway region of Somalia, as an "independent and sovereign state," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday, making Israel the first country to do so.

Good on Somaliland. Who can deal with the Mogadishu? Having said that, I see more conflicts coming in the North. 

I imagine mini-Isreal [UAE] will be next to recognize Hargeisa.

So, Xaaji, what's Isreal is getting in return?

Israel becomes first country to recognize Somaliland as independent state

Hargeisa (HOL) — Israel on Friday became the first country to formally recognize the Republic of Somaliland as an independent and sovereign state, marking a major diplomatic milestone for the self-declared republic more than three decades after it broke away from Somalia.

The recognition was announced Dec. 26, 2025, following a videoconference meeting between Somaliland President Mohamed Abdullahi “Cirro” and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to statements from both governments. The decision was formalized through a joint declaration of mutual recognition.

Israeli officials said the declaration was signed by Netanyahu, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar and the Somaliland president and provides for the establishment of full diplomatic relations, including the exchange of ambassadors and the opening of embassies.

In an official declaration issued by the Office of the President, Somaliland said it “warmly welcomes and deeply appreciates the historic and principled decision by the State of Israel to officially recognize its sovereignty and independence,” describing the move as a milestone in its long pursuit of international legitimacy.

“This recognition represents a milestone in Somaliland’s longstanding pursuit of international legitimacy, reaffirming its historical, legal, and moral entitlement to statehood,” the statement said, adding that it reflects mutual respect and shared interests between the two sides.

Netanyahu said the move reflects growing political, diplomatic and strategic alignment between Israel and Somaliland.

“This declaration is in the spirit of the Abraham Accords,” Netanyahu said, referring to the U.S.-brokered agreements that normalized relations between Israel and several Arab states. He congratulated the Somaliland president and praised his leadership and commitment to promoting stability and peace.

Somaliland’s presidential statement said the recognition underscores Somaliland’s record as “a stable, democratic, and responsible partner in the Horn of Africa,” and opens a new chapter for cooperation in security, diplomacy and development.

Israel said it plans to immediately expand cooperation with Somaliland in agriculture, health, technology and economic development. Netanyahu also extended a formal invitation to the Somaliland president to visit Israel for further discussions on shared interests and priority issues.

In response to Israel’s decision, Somaliland said it intends to accede to the Abraham Accords, describing the framework as a platform for cooperation, dialogue and regional peace. The statement said Somaliland is committed to building constructive partnerships, promoting shared prosperity and contributing to peace and stability across the Middle East and Africa.

Sa’ar said relations between Israel and Somaliland had taken shape over the past year through sustained dialogue. He said his ministry had been instructed to move quickly to institutionalize ties across a wide range of sectors.

“We will work together to promote relations between our countries and peoples, regional stability and economic prosperity,” Sa’ar said.

Netanyahu also thanked Sa’ar, Mossad Director David Barnea and Israel’s intelligence services for their role in advancing the agreement, while wishing the people of Somaliland “success, prosperity and freedom.”

Somaliland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomed the announcement, saying momentum was building and that further official statements were expected.

Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991 after the collapse of Somalia’s central government. It has since maintained its own government, security institutions and electoral processes, but until now had not received formal recognition from any country.

 The Federal Government of Somalia, which considers Somaliland an integral part of its territory, is expected to issue an official response to Israel’s announcement.

Mogadishu is useless. I am more concerned about the non-Issak clans in the North would react. Reer Awdal are no position to resist considering what's going on. The rest are obviously not keen on the idea. The morons in Garowe and Kismayo are also getting ideas now.

But in the larger context, this would pose a big headache to AU and subsequently UN considering how fragile things are in Ethiopia and the rest of the Horn.

Somaliland was mentioned in 2025 American Right-Wing project. This seems coordinated. This makes Israeli made the first move considering how they flaunt every International Law.

 

[Xaaji Xunjuf]

 as it stands  it appears that the Reer Awdal community particularly those from Borama are largely aligned with Somaliland. Despite the missteps made by Cirro at the outset of his leadership, especially his inconsistent handling of  the so called Jesus Book of Law,” which he initially rejected, then permitted, and later rejected once again, the situation has since stabilised with the elders and the vp playing a good role there.  caused tension in Borama at the time. However, now that the book has been formally banned, the Borama community seems broadly satisfied, and the matter appears, at least for now, to have been resolved. the jesus community is pissed though not sure what to expect from this djibouti denounced this latest recogntion from israel

With regard to reer  Khaatumo, and the guy firdhiye  there have been discussions aimed at improving relations. Cirro has made it clear that he no longer seeks  a war with  Laascaanood and wishes to avoid further conflict. The Khaatumo population, meanwhile, is increasingly disillusioned with Hassan Sheikh and Mogadishu. Firdhiye has yet to be inaugurated and remains in a state of limbo, still awaiting Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s approval. he is touring nairobi as we speak taking to ambassadors looking for funds 

You are right that these developments could have wider implications, particularly in Puntland and Jubaland, which may draw their own conclusions from the situation. Ultimately, however, Hassan Sheikh appears to be the greatest loser in all of this, reducing himself to near farce by fixating on talk of elections in Mogadishu while far more pressing issues remain unresolved with this latest situation and ofcourse the contention wiht pl and jubbaland and the opposition from the hag community 

[Che -Guevara]

You are giving HSM too much credit. He literally does not care about anything. He wouldn't mind if Somalia disappears as long as he keeps his loot. It baffles me how someone be so greedy, cruel, and shameless. 

Reer Khaatumo made their decision. I doubt they will go back on it. As for Jubaland and Pland, the general public is what matters regardless of Deni's and Madoobe's intentions.

hassan sheikh cares about coming back as president  i think the past two years he is been working how to get that the problem with somalia no one is honest the shacab are the only honest  but hsm and the leaders no one is telling the truth ,usee members of parlaiment living nairobi buying and building property  in kenya  , the whole situation is bad.. one wonder what  is the point of having a presidnecy when u dont have a country 

[Che -Guevara]

He's not coming back. I would be very surprised if he does. I do expect one thing. HSM will try to beat Cirro to Jerusalem. 

[Che -Guevara]

Mohamed Farmaajo on X: "International law requires Israel to comply and respect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Somalia. Recognizing a part of Somalia is a complete breach of this. Somaliland is an integral part of Somalia. Our people are firmly united in the defence of their sovereignty." / X
