💨 Abstract

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar visited Somaliland, sparking criticism from Somalia, which views the self-declared republic as part of its territory. Israel is the first country to recognize Somaliland's independence. Saar met with Somaliland's president, Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi, to discuss enhancing bilateral ties. Somalia condemned the visit as interference. Somaliland's strategic location and potential cooperation in agriculture, health, and technology are key drivers for Israel's engagement.
