US EditionUN Security Council to Hold Emergency Meeting After Israel Recognises Somaliland
Eight countries form the East Mediterranean Gas Forum to create a gas production and marketing cooperation framework, aiming to counter Turkish influence and regional tensions.
- On Monday, the UN Security Council will convene an emergency session following the state of Israel's recognition of Somaliland announced on Friday.
- With diplomatic isolation as background, Benjamin Netanyahu framed the decision as `in the spirit of the Abraham Accords` to promote cooperation with Somaliland, which controls a strategic Gulf of Aden position and has its own currency and armed forces.
- A joint statement from 21 mostly West Asian or African countries and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation rejected Israel's decision, while the European Union and US State Department reaffirmed Somalia's unity and territorial integrity on Saturday.
- Mogadishu and other states said the decision is a `deliberate attack` on Somalia's sovereignty, while Danny Danon, Israeli Ambassador to the UN, said `Israel will act responsibly` amid the UN session request.
- The joint statement emphasised that recognising parts of states sets a serious precedent and violates the United Nations Charter, threatening peace in the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea.
