Israel recognises Somaliland as independent state, Netanyahu says

Israel has officially recognized Somaliland as an independent nation, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announcing plans to enhance cooperation in agriculture, health, and technology. Somaliland's President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi described the move as a "historic moment," signaling a potential shift in diplomatic relations and access to global markets for the region. The decision has sparked both support and opposition, with Somalia rejecting the move, while Somaliland looks to join the Abraham Accords to promote peace and prosperity in the Middle East and Africa.
