The UN Security Council will meet urgently on Monday on Israel's recognition of Somaliland
Somalia has denounced Tel Aviv's recognition as an "illegal attack" and "contrary to international law." Somaliland has stressed that it will not receive Palestinians expelled from Gaza.
The UN Security Councilwillhold an emergency meeting\u00A0 tomorrow, Monday, after Israel recognized Somaliland as a state .
The Israeli envoy to the UN, Danny Danon, has stated that Tel Aviv will not "circumvent political debates" and that "Israel will continue to act responsibly and discreetly to strengthen cooperation with partners contributing to the stability of the regions."
It should be recalled that on 1 January Somalia will assume the one-month rotating presidency of the Security Council. In this regard, Somali President Hasan Sheikh Mohamud has denounced Israel's attitude. According to him, recognition is an "illegal attack" and "contrary to international law."
The Somali leader has had contacts with members of Africa such as\u00A0 Djibouti, Kenya, Ugandaand Tanzanian presidents and the Emir of Qatar, all of whom have expressed their support and denounced Israel's position.
Some 20 countries in the Middle East and Africa, such as Jordan, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Nigeria or Turkey, have slipped along with Somalia on the grounds that recognition will not benefit peace or security. "It is an unprecedented decision that can have serious consequences", they have stressed. In the same vein, the European Union has stressed that it 'respects' Somalia's unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The exceptionhas been Taiwan, which has applauded Israel's decision . The Taiwanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has explained that "Taiwan, Israel and Somaliland are democratic partners with equal values of freedom and rule of law".
Somaliland says it will not receive Palestinians expelled from Gaza
On the other hand, the Somaliland Government has clarified that Israel's recognition of its sovereignty does not mean that they will receive the Palestinians expelled from Gaza. That is precisely what Hamas denounced yesterday: that Israel was planning to bring the citizens of Gaza there. Somaliland Foreign Minister Abdirahman Dahir has stated in an interview with the Israeli television station KAN that "we have never negotiated the reception of people expelled from Gaza.
