Qatar and 15 Arab, Islamic nations condemn Israeli envoy to Somaliland

Qatar, together with 15 Arab and Islamic countries, has issued a strong condemnation of Israel’s decision to appoint a diplomatic envoy to Somaliland, describing the move as a blatant violation of Somalia’s sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity.

In a joint statement released by Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the foreign ministers reaffirmed their categorical rejection of unilateral actions that undermine state sovereignty. They emphasized unwavering support for Somalia’s federal government and legitimate institutions as the sole representatives of the Somali people.

The communiqué stressed that Israel’s step contravenes international law, the United Nations Charter, and the Constitutive Act of the African Union. The ministers warned that such actions set a dangerous precedent, threatening stability in the Horn of Africa and jeopardizing broader regional peace and security.

The declaration underscores a unified stance among Arab and Islamic nations in defending Somalia’s sovereignty and rejecting external interference in its internal affairs.
