Overview
- Israel and Somalilandia said they will establish full diplomatic relations, appoint ambassadors, open embassies, and launch cooperation in agriculture, health, technology, and the economy.
- Somalia condemned the move as illegal, asserted its territorial integrity, and signaled diplomatic and legal steps while warning against any foreign military basing agreements on its soil.
- The UN Security Council will convene an urgent session on Monday to address the recognition, as Qatar, the European Union, and IGAD joined the Arab League, the African Union, Egypt, Turkey, and Djibouti in opposing it.
- President Donald Trump said the United States will not recognize Somalilandia at this time but will study the matter.
- Unconfirmed reports about plans to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to Somalilandia featured in regional denunciations, though the claims remain contested and lack independent verification.
