Today, we officially opened the first Embassy of the Republic of Somaliland in Jerusalem.

This historic milestone reflects Somaliland’s growing international presence and the strengthening partnership between Somaliland and Israel, founded on mutual respect, cooperation, and shared interests.

A proud day for Somaliland and Somalilanders everywhere.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ...

[Israel Foreign Ministry @IsraelMFA]

Following the establishment of diplomatic relations between Israel and Somaliland on December 26, 2025, and in line with the understandings reached during the visit of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Sa’ar to Somaliland last month, the government of the State of Israel has granted an agrément to Somaliland’s first Ambassador to Israel, Dr. Mohamed Hagi.

Ambassador Dr. Mohamed Hagi currently serves as an advisor to the President of Somaliland and was a member of the inner circle of officials who promoted the establishment of relations between Israel and Somaliland throughout 2025.

An Israeli Ambassador to Somaliland will soon be appointed - an additional step in strengthening relations between the two countries.

In addition, this week, a designated course is being held in Israel by MASHAV, the International Cooperation Center of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for the Somaliland Water Authority and the Director General of the Ministry of Water of Somaliland. The course is intended to assist in the construction, development, and planning of the water sector in Somaliland, and to strengthen professional cooperation between the sides.

Today, at the Presidential Palace, I received
@gidonsaar H.E. Mr. Gideon Sa’ar, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the State of Israel, and a high-level delegation on an official visit to the Republic of Somaliland, the first such visit by a foreign minister in 34 years after recognition. I conveyed my deep appreciation to the Government of Israel for its historic and courageous decision of 26 December 2025 to formally recognize the Republic of Somaliland. This milestone reflects a relationship founded on mutual respect and shared interests, aimed at cooperation and stability without prejudice to any party.

I emphasized that this recognition opens a new chapter of formal diplomatic relations, security, economic, and development cooperation, serving the mutual interests of both nations and contributing positively to peace and stability in the Horn of Africa.

I also reaffirmed that Somaliland is a reliable and responsible partner, strategically positioned and committed to advancing regional and international peace, security, and constructive engagement.

[Gideon Sa'ar | גדעון סער @gidonsaar]

It's a great privilege to conduct the first official diplomatic visit to Somaliland, at the invitation of President @Abdirahmanirro.
The visit is also a message: We are determined to vigorously advance relations between Israel and Somaliland.
Today, we held substantive discussions with the President and senior members of his government on the full range of our relations.
The mutual recognition and establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries are not directed against anyone. Our shared objective is to promote the mutual benefit of both nations and countries.
In Hargeisa, I made it clear:
Only Israel will decide whom it recognizes and with whom it maintains diplomatic relations.
The President of Somaliland informed me that he has accepted @IsraeliPM Netanyahu’s invitation and will pay an official visit to Israel.

[Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו @netanyahu]

I announced today the official recognition of the Republic of Somaliland as an independent and sovereign state.

Together with Foreign Minister Sa'ar and the President of the Republic of Somaliland, we signed a joint and mutual declaration.

This declaration is in the spirit of the Abraham Accords, signed at the initiative of President Trump.

I congratulated the President of Somaliland, Dr. Abdirahman Mohamed Abdallah, and praised his leadership and commitment to promoting stability and peace. I invited the President to pay an official visit to Israel.

The President thanked me for this historic declaration and expressed appreciation for my achievements in fighting terrorism and advancing regional peace.

I thank Foreign Minister Sa’ar, the Head of Mossad David Barnea and the Mossad, for their contribution to today’s development, and I wish the people of Somaliland success, prosperity, and freedom.

The State of Israel plans to immediately expand its relations with the Republic of Somaliland through extensive cooperation in the fields of agriculture, health, technology, and economy.

Glad to welcome FM @min_abdirahman & the #Somaliland delegation to #Taiwan. With today’s coast guard agreement & expansion into areas like maritime security & blue economy, our nations are writing a new chapter in our partnership & showing resilience of democratic alliances.

The father of all jihadists in Somalia Hassan Dahir Aweys is still being held in a luxury prison, and like a Narco Boss he enjoys all the creature comforts.

He was allowed to marry and even sired children - according to some reports.

Poor Sheegow, the Jareer Bantu leader, was arrested on flimsy charges, convicted and dumped in a hospital when he was too ill - he has since died.

How can Somalia rebuild social cohesion in the face of such blatant and chronic discrimination?

Those upset by Ethio-Somali port deal article @JMeservey and I wrote for @NationalInteres "An East African Port Deal the World Should Applaud" - Im curious to know what in it is factually wrong. The deal is a win/win for all - except Somali irridentists.
