"in the spirit of the Abraham Accords,"
"Israel's official recognition of Somaliland and its right of self-determination,"
"represents a milestone in Somaliland's long-standing pursuit of international legitimacy, reaffirming its historical, legal, and moral entitlement to statehood."
Israel officially recognized Somaliland as an independent, sovereign state, making it the first country to do so. Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991 and is home to more than six million people, but previously lacked recognition from United Nations member states. Israeli leadership framed the move as aligned with the Abraham Accords and emphasized friendship with Somaliland as seminal and historic. Somaliland's president described the recognition as a milestone affirming the territory's historical, legal, and moral claim to statehood. The decision drew criticism from observers who contrasted it with Israel's continued unwillingness to recognize a Palestinian state.
