Somaliland has officially opened an embassy in Jerusalem, marking another milestone in its growing relationship with Israel. The move comes six months after Israel became the first country to formally recognize Somaliland as an independent state. During a visit to Israel, Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi met Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with both leaders highlighting opportunities for closer cooperation. The development has drawn criticism from Somalia, which continues to regard Somaliland as part of its territory. The embassy opening also adds to ongoing international debate over Jerusalem's status and the location of foreign diplomatic missions in the city.
