Somaliland's President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi made his first foreign state visit to Israel, opening his nation's embassy in Jerusalem on Monday in a display of growing diplomatic ties. The move represents a significant diplomatic milestone for Israel, which became the first country in the world to recognize Somaliland in December. The Muslim-majority nation, which declared independence from Somalia in 1991, joins seven other nations with embassies in the Israeli capital. The embassy, located in Jerusalem's Har Hotzvim high-tech park, signals Somaliland's commitment to the Abraham Accords and expanding regional partnerships.
