LIVE | Israel’s Netanyahu Recognises Somaliland: Why Does it Matter? | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Israel has become the first nation to officially recognise Somaliland as a sovereign state, a move that has ignited a diplomatic firestorm. While Somaliland has operated as a self-declared independent republic since 1991, this recognition by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shifts the power dynamics of the Red Sea corridor. The decision has drawn sharp condemnation from Somalia, which views the move as an assault on its territorial integrity. Global powers and regional bodies, including the African Union and the European Union, have expressed alarm, while US President Donald Trump has distanced his administration from the decision. Beyond diplomacy, the stakes are strategic. Somaliland’s proximity to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait offers Israel a vital foothold to counter Houthi rebels and secure global trade routes. However, with Al-Shabaab and the Houthis vowing retaliation, this recognition threatens to turn the Horn of Africa into a new frontline of international conflict.
