FoZ founder says he intends to speak with Trump over Somaliland recognition at award ceremony
- On June 14, 2026, Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi arrived in Israel for the first state visit by a leader from the breakaway territory, where his delegation opened an embassy in Jerusalem.
- Six months ago, Israel became the first state to recognize Somaliland's independence from Somalia; the region has maintained relative stability since 1991 while seeking global acknowledgment for 35 years.
- President Abdullahi confirmed he is open to hosting an Israeli military base in the future, as Israel views Somaliland's position near the Bab al-Mandab Strait as a strategic asset overlooking the Red Sea.
- Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz described a "long-standing friendship based on common interests" and expected cooperation to reach "new heights," with direct flights between the nations beginning "very soon."
- Somalia has rejected Israel's recognition of the territory, labeling it a "deliberate attack" on its sovereignty, while officials allege Israel seeks a military facility to aid operations against the Houthis in Yemen.
