On December 26, 2025, Israel made history by becoming the first UN member state to formally recognize Somaliland as an independent and sovereign nation. Israel’s decision was driven by a combination of historic ties, regional security, and diplomatic expansion under the "spirit of the Abraham Accords." Prime Minister Netanyahu framed the recognition as an extension of the Abraham Accords. Somaliland has expressed a strong desire to join the accords, offering Israel a Muslim-majority partner that is openly friendly and eager for cooperation in technology, agriculture, and defense. While the US has historically deferred to the African Union's "One Somalia" policy, there is a growing argument that recognizing Somaliland in 2026 would serve both American and Israeli interests. The US presence in the Horn of Africa is currently centered in Djibouti, which also hosts China’s first overseas military base. US recognition would "legalize" deeper military cooperation between the US, Israel, and Somaliland. This would allow for a unified maritime security architecture—supported by US hardware and Israeli intelligence—to protect global trade through the Suez Canal.In 2026, US recognition of Somaliland would be a "force multiplier" for Israel. It would transform Somaliland from a diplomatic experiment into a legitimate, Western-backed security hub, effectively "locking in" a strategic shoreline that protects both Israeli and American interests against Iranian-backed maritime terrorism.Use the following prompt in the AI of your choice to write a message to your congressperson:>Please explain why Israel recognized Somaliland.
