"Somalian President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has slammed Israel's interference in his country, saying its recognition of the breakaway region of Somaliland has further increased instability and weakened international order. In an exclusive interview with Al Jazeera broadcast on Saturday, Mohamud said Somalia will never allow the establishment of an Israeli base in Somaliland and will confront any such move. He also warned that the proposed Israeli base could be used as a springboard to attack neighbouring countries."
"Israel's move made it the first country in the world to recognise Somaliland as an independent state and came months after The Associated Press news agency reported that Israeli officials had contacted parties in Somaliland to discuss using the territory for forcibly displacing Palestinians amid Israel's genocidal war on Gaza. Israel and Somaliland have denied the claims, but a Somaliland official from the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation told Israel's Channel 12 in January"
Somalia will never allow the establishment of an Israeli base in Somaliland and will confront any such move. The Somalian president condemned Israel's recognition of Somaliland as increasing instability and weakening international order. He warned the proposed Israeli base could be used as a springboard to attack neighbouring countries. Israel became the first country to recognise Somaliland in December. The Associated Press reported Israeli officials had contacted parties in Somaliland to discuss using the territory for forcibly displacing Palestinians amid Israel's genocidal war on Gaza. Israel and Somaliland denied those claims, while Somalia denounced the recognition as an attack on its territorial integrity and many African and Arab leaders backed that position; Somaliland's leader welcomed Israel's move.
