I announced today the official recognition of the Republic of Somaliland as an independent and sovereign state.
Together with Foreign Minister Sa'ar and the President of the Republic of Somaliland, we signed a joint and mutual declaration.
This declaration is in the spirit of the Abraham Accords, signed at the initiative of President Trump.
I congratulated the President of Somaliland, Dr. Abdirahman Mohamed Abdallah, and praised his leadership and commitment to promoting stability and peace. I invited the President to pay an official visit to Israel.
The President thanked me for this historic declaration and expressed appreciation for my achievements in fighting terrorism and advancing regional peace.
I thank Foreign Minister Sa’ar, the Head of Mossad David Barnea and the Mossad, for their contribution to today’s development, and I wish the people of Somaliland success, prosperity, and freedom.
The State of Israel plans to immediately expand its relations with the Republic of Somaliland through extensive cooperation in the fields of agriculture, health, technology, and economy.

Likud:
Contrary to the false claims, Feldstein never served as the Prime Minister's spokesperson and was not employed in the Prime Minister's Office. The Prime Minister had almost no contact with him, did not include him in discussions, and certainly did not bring him into meetings or classified discussions. Feldstein was employed by the Director General of the Prime Minister's Office, and after his employment there ended, he worked as an external consultant for the National Public Diplomacy Array.
From the beginning of the war, the Prime Minister issued sharp statements and briefings against Qatar despite criticism from elements in the security system and left-wing journalists who claimed that he was "endangering the hostages." Senior officials in the security systems occasionally tried to insert words of praise for Qatar into the Prime Minister's speeches, and the Prime Minister firmly refused. In addition, the Prime Minister also ordered an operational strike in Qatar.
At the same time, the Qatari government attacked the Prime Minister time and again in official statements.
In contrast, former senior officers, senior left-wing figures, members of the hostages' headquarters, and left-wing businesspeople maintain extensive ties with Qatar. The Bennett government even allowed the then-head of the Shin Bet, Ronen Bar, to fly to Qatar as an honored guest of the Emir of Qatar. The hypocrisy is screaming to the heavens.
