Following the establishment of diplomatic relations between Israel and Somaliland on December 26, 2025, and in line with the understandings reached during the visit of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Sa’ar to Somaliland last month, the government of the State of Israel has granted an agrément to Somaliland’s first Ambassador to Israel, Dr. Mohamed Hagi. Ambassador Dr. Mohamed Hagi currently serves as an advisor to the President of Somaliland and was a member of the inner circle of officials who promoted the establishment of relations between Israel and Somaliland throughout 2025. An Israeli Ambassador to Somaliland will soon be appointed - an additional step in strengthening relations between the two countries. In addition, this week, a designated course is being held in Israel by MASHAV, the International Cooperation Center of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for the Somaliland Water Authority and the Director General of the Ministry of Water of Somaliland. The course is intended to assist in the construction, development, and planning of the water sector in Somaliland, and to strengthen professional cooperation between the sides.

Tiny Djibouti and the AU Chair Mohamoud Ali have instrumentalised the African Union, turned into an tool of naked partisanship; a weapon to block the international recognition of Somaliland. Just two latest moves: Somalia elevated into the AUPSC - undeservingly. Somalia put on African peer review mechanism - a role that ought to be reserved for states that are least fragile, well-governed and can exercise positive peer pressure. But can the AU alone and singly stop a powerful international momentum? Isn't the real decider of Somaliland recognition ultimately not geopolitics and bilateral strategic choice, rather than outdated normative multilateral principles?

Without effective action, #ClimateChange will push more than 100M people into poverty & half of this increase will be due to its effects on agriculture. Transforming #FoodSystems & helping small-scale farmers be resilient is essential if we want to #EndPoverty. @Zahralillian

Humanity relies on nature for survival but also threatens it, putting over one million species at risk of extinction. 💚@UNEP The #GlobalGoals are key in addressing this & restoring ecosystems. @Greenisamissio1 @OlumideIDOWU @mnyomb1 @mulindwa_guy @missyHaroona @foe_us @salhaj

If greenhouse gas emissions don't drop drastically, global warming could exceed 2.9°C this century. The consequences would be catastrophic for life on Earth!! What #ClimateActions are you taking to reduce emissions? What are you waiting for? @OlumideIDOWU @climatemessages

🤔How can we bridge the #energytransition financing gap in emerging economies? During a high-level dialogue at #IRENA15A, Ministers & @IRENA Members stressed that boosting private investment through improved concessional financing will eventually reduce risks & accelerate the flow of funds from developed to developing nations. Closing this gap is pivotal for achieving the #3xRenewables target.

The climate crisis is a humanitarian crisis for people everywhere. It's our responsibility to act, & act now. @AfClimateSummit should advocate for urgent & strong action to reduce the humanitarian impact of the climate change. @AbiluTangwa @mnyomb1 @ledamalekina @SophiaKianni

Governments must make sure that investments in #ClimateAction reach the people who need it most. Small-scale farmers should be at the top of that list. By helping small-scale farmers, we help the planet. @IFADPresident @SingoeiAKorir @Char_FentonUK @Sdg13Un @suadibra @Adow777

🚨 The planet is heading for a climate catastrophe & we urgently need sustainable solutions. Investing in small-scale agriculture is one of them. It’s time to switch from plans to action & heal our common home! 🌏 @ElmotasimKhalid @DrMutungaEA @shahwank @Sdg13Un @Princeponfa

Higher temperatures are making it harder to produce food. And for vulnerable rural communities, failed harvest seasons can mean meagre earnings and empty plates. If we don't support them and #ActOnClimate today, we let hunger win.
