Egypt, 25 April 2026 The Arab Parliament condemned Israel’s appointment of an ambassador to Somaliland, describing the move as a violation of international law and Somalia’s sovereignty.
In a statement issued on Saturday, the parliament said the step amounted to direct interference in Somalia’s internal affairs and undermined its territorial integrity.
The body also rejected any actions that support or legitimise secession or recognise entities that lack international recognition.
