The move comes months after Israel officially recognised the independence of Somalia’s breakaway region
Somaliland will open an embassy in Jerusalem and Israel will establish its representation in Hargeisa “soon”, according to Mohamed Hagi, the ambassador of Somalia’s breakaway region to Israel.
The development, which comes months after Israel officially recognised the independence of Somaliland, reflects “growing friendship, mutual respect, and strategic cooperation between our two peoples”, Hagi said in a statement on X on Tuesday.
