Somalia's Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre has described Israel's recognition of Somaliland as a direct attack on his country's sovereignty. He stated that instead of this move, the Israeli leadership should have recognized the State of Palestine, and the current decision undermines regional stability.

The editorial reports that following Israel's decision regarding Somaliland, the European Union has called for respect for Somalia's sovereignty and territorial integrity. EU officials emphasized the importance of adhering to the principles of international law on the matter.

According to information, Al Jazeera sources reported that Somalia has demanded an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council regarding Israel's recognition of Somaliland. Official Mogadishu considers it necessary for the issue to be discussed internationally and legally assessed.
