Somalia warns Israel to halt involvement in Somaliland after Jerusalem embassy opens
Somalia has escalated diplomatic tensions by warning Israel to cease interference in Somaliland affairs, following Somaliland's opening of its first overseas embassy in Jerusalem this week. Israel formally recognized Somaliland as an independent state in December 2025, a move that directly contradicts Somalia's assertion of sovereignty over the territory.
