Jerusalem / Hargeisa — In a landmark diplomatic development, the Prime Minister announced today the official recognition of the Republic of Somaliland as an independent and sovereign state, marking a historic shift in regional and international relations.
The announcement followed the signing of a joint and mutual declaration by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, and the President of the Republic of Somaliland. The declaration formalizes bilateral recognition and establishes the foundation for full diplomatic relations between the two sides.
According to official statements, the agreement underscores mutual respect for sovereignty, territorial integrity, and political independence, while opening avenues for cooperation in diplomacy, security, trade, technology, and regional stability.
HornCurrent understands that this recognition represents a significant diplomatic breakthrough for Somaliland, which has long sought international acknowledgment following decades of de facto self-governance, democratic elections, and institutional development.
Regional analysts describe the move as a strategic and symbolic milestone, with potential implications for the Horn of Africa, the Red Sea corridor, and broader geopolitical alignments.
Further details regarding the establishment of embassies, diplomatic missions, and implementation mechanisms are expected to be released in the coming days.
