Ali Omar, the Somali Deputy Foreign Minister, stated in an interview that the government will use all diplomatic means against Israel's recognition of Somaliland, which is seen as an aggression against Somalia's internal affairs. This recognition has been condemned by African and Arab nations, raising concerns about its connection to the forced displacement of Palestinians. Somaliland declared independence in 1991 but has not been recognized by any UN member state. Omar emphasized that Israel's decision is unacceptable and called for its withdrawal of divisive measures. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry supported Somalia, recalling Israel's previous designation of Somaliland as a potential destination for displaced Palestinians. Somaliland's president defended Israel's decision, claiming it does not threaten regional peace. The Somali Prime Minister's office condemned Israel's actions as a deliberate attack on Somalia's sovereignty. Teljes cikk (Portfolio.hu)
