Israel's move to recognize Somaliland has drawn international criticism, including from its ally the United States, with former President Trump questioning Somaliland's existence. Over 20 nations, the OIC, Syria, Palestine, and the EU have condemned the action, emphasizing Somalia's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The EU advocates for dialogue between Somaliland and Somalia. Somaliland, which has governed itself peacefully for over three decades, views the development as affirming an existing reality. The UN Security Council will hold an emergency session to discuss the issue.
