UN Security Council to convene emergency meeting on Israel’s Somaliland recognition
The Times of Israel ^ | 27 Dec 2025 | Jacob Magid

The UN Security Council will convene an emergency session on Monday to discuss Israel’s recognition of Somaliland, with members slated to condemn Jerusalem’s move.

Israel announced the step on Friday, days before Somalia is slated to take over the presidency of the Security Council. In the announcement, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the recognition was “in the spirit of the Abraham Accords,” and that the countries would cooperate in “economic fields, on agriculture, [and] in the fields of social development.”

The decision was met with anger from several regional powers who accused Israel of undermining the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Somalia — the country from which Somaliland broke away in 1991. Israel is now the only UN member state to recognize Somaliland’s independence.

Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon said in a statement Saturday that “Israel will act responsibly and we will continue to cooperate with partners who contribute to regional stability.”

The European Union joined the chorus of condemnations of Israel’s move.

“The European Union reaffirms the importance of respecting the unity, the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Somalia pursuant of its constitution, the Charters of the African Union and the United Nations,” Brussels said in a statement.

“This is key for the peace and stability of the entire Horn of Africa region,” the statement continued. “The EU encourages meaningful dialogue between Somaliland and the Federal Government of Somalia to resolve long-standing differences.”

“… days before Somalia is slated to take over the presidency of the Security Council. ”

In no rational world would something like that even be considered, although there have been precedents. The non-permanent members sit for a month only, but there have been scores of seats held by people who can’t even spell UN.

How about recognizing Kurdistan? Turkey would love that.

“ Somaliland” sounds like a theme park of famine and thievery.

Solution is simple—Cut Iraq into three states—give one to kurds. Then push all kurds in Turkey out, into the new state, Let the new state of Kurdistan have a piece of Syria and recognize this new state.

Does the UN ever vote on any other issue except how Israel caused an ingrown toenail to progress until festered in the UN Chief’s big toe?
What do these UN scum do all day?

What could possibly be the problem with a two State solution in the Horn of Africa?

Mohammed was the Anti-Christ. Look at how many Christians Islam has murdered. It continues to this day!

Haha

“Zionist regime” (as if that somehow discredits Israel? It’s a badge of honor, frankly)
“Occupied Golan heights”. (Hey, author, you lost that war. Get used to it. You’ll never, ever reconquer that little area. If only because it is essential for iDF to spot and interdict Iranian attempts to rearm its Hezballah terrorists). Etcetera

The author of the article suffers from a severe mental problem. One that needs serious treatment. Intense psychopath ubable to deal with reality.

What a wackadoodle you are.

Here’s another article for you, but it is the message, not the medium that you object to.
