Somalia’s uranium of over 10,200 tons should be building African futures. Instead Türkiye pushes deeper into the resource scramble, another outsider claiming strategic minerals as sovereignty gets traded piece by piece. africa.businessinsider.com/l…

ראש הממשלה בנימין נתניהו נפגש היום עם נשיא סומלילנד ד"ר אבדירחמן מוחמד עבדילאהי, בלשכת רה"מ בירושלים. תחילה, נפגשו המנהיגים בארבע עיניים, ולאחר מכן התקיימה פגישה מורחבת. בתום הפגישה חתמו המנהיגים על הצהרה משותפת לחיזוק שיתוף הפעולה בין שתי המדינות ומסרו הצהרות. ראש הממשלה בנימין נתניהו: "אנחנו גאים, ואני גאה שממשלתי היא הראשונה בעולם להכיר בסומלילנד. אנו מאוחדים באמונה שחופש, דמוקרטיה והזדמנויות חזקים יותר מקיצוניות, טרור וכאוס"

Everyone will have their take on the deal. Mine is kinda what you'd expect. 1. Trump caved. The early-May naval attempt to break the closure of Hormuz -- Project Freedom -- could have worked. He didn't give it a chance. 2. He may nevertheless have done the right thing from an American perspective. On the larger chessboard, the one where America is curtailing Chinese lines of influence and supply on all fronts, he's gotten everything he needs. Iran's nuclear program is also set back dramatically. And worrying about gas prices come November is an extremely valid concern for an American president. As I argued back in February, the US and Israel weren't fighting the same war. Roughly 80% of each side's war overlapped with the other's. But toward the end, their interests would diverge and America would bow out. And so it was. 3. Israel remains in the region, Hezbollah remains ensconced in Lebanon and committed to murdering us all, Iran remains the same muqawama regime it always was, committed to mass-murder and mass-sacrifice of its own people. The decades-long war between the muqawama ideology and the Jews of Israel continues. 4. Israelis owe the United States a vast and abiding debt of gratitude for what it has done to Iran's missile and nuclear programs. That this finished on America's timetable rather than ours, that it was doing it for its own interests and not ours, these don't diminish the fact that we received from America more than we had a right to ask for. 5. And still, #3 remains true. We fight on. Because that regime is undeterrable, actually wants to destroy us all, and like the Nasserist ideology that once sent army after army at us to destroy us, will require a few more wars and perhaps another decade or two to defeat completely. 6. The new IRGC military dictatorship now in charge in Iran is built to survive catastrophe. But not to govern, reform or build anything of value. Some commentators on the deal have suggested that the most damaging thing you could do to the Iranian regime at this point is send it back to its embittered people to try to govern the peace. I think they might be onto something. It'd be a much safer and happier and more peaceful region if the regime falls from within and a new and better day dawns for the long-suffering people of Iran.

It was a great honor to welcome President @Abdirahmanirro to Jerusalem to begin his first-ever state visit to Israel. Our task is now to move from declarations to action with people-to-people collaboration in a range of fields between out two wonderful nations.

Hargeisa National Museum this evening.

Worse. The road to (our) hell is paved with good intentions. Our kids are paying the price.

Israel's avocado diplomacy breaks ice with Somalia. Israel's embassy in Kenya organised a conference on avocados - an increasingly important export commodity loved by Somalis. Kenyan avocados have a big market in Somalia and Israel has long been involved in supporting avocado agri-tech in Kenya. Interesting to see how trade and win-win partnerships can overcome geopolitical frictions.

Nigeria, Israel Seek Deeper Bilateral Cooperation. @NigeriaMFA | @Ojukwu_Bianca

It's not just the display, its the treatment. I condem this in the strongest terms and hope everyone who takes part in applying accesive force will be held accountable. This is not Israel. This are corrupt fantatics that have taken over our system.Israel have had it with them.

I was delighted to receive the first-ever Ambassador of Somaliland to Israel, Mohamed Hagi, who presented his diplomatic credentials this morning. Ambassador Hagi was kind enough to praise our orchestra, who played the national anthem of Somaliland for the first time ever in Israel. This important new partnership between our nations will bring a shared future of cooperation in a range of fields to the benefit of both our peoples and the entire region.

🎉 Happy 35th Independence Day, Somaliland! Since May 18, 1991, Somaliland has stood as a symbol of resilience, peace, and democracy. Following Israel’s historic recognition in 2025, this year marks an exciting new chapter. From our CEO, @msf2018 , warm congratulations to the people of Somaliland on this historic milestone. ✨ #Somaliland #Israel #IsraelAfrica #AfricaRising #IndependenceDay35 #HornofAfrica

“I really see Somaliland as a true partner to Israel. Coming from having worked on the Abraham Accords, I see the different countries and cultures. There is something very strong about the Somalilanders that makes me very optimistic.” Shiri Fein-Grossman, CEO of the Israel Africa Relations Institute, on the true potential for Israeli-Somaliland relations.

Today, Somaliland is celebrating Independence – and flying Israeli flags. Despite the backlash to Israel’s recognition of Somaliland, we haven't walked away. The Iran war has demonstrated just how critical the Israel-Somaliland partnership is for global security. The Bab el-Mandeb Strait - one of the world's most critical chokepoints - sits on Somaliland's coast. Shiri Fein-Grossman, CEO of the Israel Africa Relations Institute, sees a partner the world can't afford to ignore.
