Palestinians regard East Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state, while most countries continue to keep their embassies in Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Somaliland\u2019s decision to open its embassy in Jerusalem, rather than Tel Aviv, has therefore been viewed by critics as a direct endorsement of Israel\u2019s occupation and annexation of the holy city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Palestinian Authority condemned the opening of what it called the alleged embassy of the so-called \u201cSomaliland\u201d in occupied Jerusalem, describing the move as a flagrant violation of international law and relevant international resolutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Israel\u2019s recognition of Somaliland last December was widely criticised by several countries and organisations, including China, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the African Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since then, Israel and Somaliland have moved to strengthen ties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this year, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar visited Hargeisa, the capital of the breakaway administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During his meeting with Abdullahi, Netanyahu claimed there was \u201ca deep spiritual bond\u201d between Israel and Somaliland, while also drawing a comparison between Somaliland\u2019s demand for recognition and Israel\u2019s claim over Jerusalem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Abdullahi praised Netanyahu for what he described as the \u201ccourage\u201d to recognise Somaliland and spoke of potential cooperation in natural resources, including rare earth minerals and oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also highlighted Somaliland\u2019s coastline near the mouth of the Red Sea, underlining the strategic value Israel sees in cultivating ties with the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Israel, the relationship offers a foothold close to one of the world\u2019s most important maritime routes at a time when regional opposition to its genocide in Gaza remains intense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Somaliland, the relationship appears to be part of a wider campaign to secure international recognition, despite Somalia\u2019s continued rejection of its claim to independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Somalia\u2019s foreign ministry called on international partners to uphold international law and condemn actions that undermine the unity and stability of the Somali state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Somaliland has governed itself since breaking away from Somalia in 1991 after the collapse of the central government in Mogadishu. It has held its own elections, issued its own currency and built its own security forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, until Israel\u2019s recognition last year, its declaration of independence had not been recognised internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest move is likely to further inflame tensions between Mogadishu and Hargeisa, while reinforcing anger among Muslims who view Somaliland\u2019s normalisation with Israel as a betrayal during the ongoing genocide in Gaza.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The breakaway region of Somaliland has opened its embassy in Jerusalem, deepening its controversial relationship with Israel and drawing condemnation from Somalia, Palestine and Muslims worldwide.
