Xaaji Xunjuf Posted Tuesday at 12:32 PM Israeli foreign minister arrives in Somaliland weeks after recognition move Tuesday January 6, 2026 Hargeisa (HOL) — Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar arrived in Hargeisa on Wednesday, nearly two weeks after Israel announced it had recognized Somaliland as an independent state. Saar is expected to hold talks with Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi during the visit, according to a Somaliland diplomatic source cited by Israeli television channel i24NEWS. The two officials are also scheduled to hold a joint news conference later in the day. advertisements The visit marks the highest-level Israeli delegation to Somaliland since Tel Aviv’s announcement recognizing the self-declared republic, underscoring Israel’s intent to formalize political engagement despite widespread opposition to the move. Israel’s recognition of Somaliland, announced last month, drew condemnation from Somalia’s federal government and several regional and international actors, who argue the decision violates international law and undermines Somalia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991 following the collapse of the central government. While it has maintained its own administration, security forces and elections, it has not received formal recognition from the international community. Somali officials have warned that Israel’s decision risks destabilizing the Horn of Africa at a time of heightened political and security tensions. Several countries, including Djibouti and Arab states, have reaffirmed their support for Somalia’s unity in response to the announcement. Neither Israeli nor Somaliland authorities have released full details of Saar’s visit agenda, but analysts say the trip is likely to further inflame diplomatic tensions in the region as Somalia seeks to rally international backing against the recognition.

Xaaji Xunjuf Posted Tuesday at 12:37 PM Israel's foreign minister on historic visit to Somaliland 18 minutes ago Gideon Saar previously called the widespread criticism of Israel's move "hypocritical" Israel's foreign minister has arrived in the breakaway state of Somaliland, marking the first official visit since Israel controversially recognised Somaliland as an independent country. Gideon Saar landed in capital city Hargeisa on Tuesday and met with Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi, government sources there told the BBC. Last month Israel became the first country in the world to recognise Somaliland, which declared independence from Somalia more than 30 years ago. Somaliland's president called Israel's move "a historic moment", but Somalia furiously rejected the development as an attack on its sovereignty.

Xaaji Xunjuf Posted Tuesday at 03:01 PM I think the visit is expected to take place toward the end of this month januari ama early februari. Its purpose is the opening of the Somaliland Embassy in Jerusalem, or at the very least the laying of the necessary groundwork for this opening . about the visiting the western wall lol, we cant know for sure he might or he might not , but he should if he wants to get a good deal out of the israelis. and last but not least to sign the abraham accords . and in other news Israel’s Foreign Minister, Gideon Sa’ar, visited Berbera, where Israel is expected to establish a strategic intelligence presence there . Meanwhile, the Bunker government has issued a condemnation, delivered in a generic, formulaic statement that looks like it had been copied from ChatGPT war nimanku qaab darana.
