Arab League condemn Israeli recognition of Somaliland

The Arab League nations are angered by Israel's decision to recognise Somaliland, calling it an act of aggression.

At a meeting in Cairo, Egypt, Somali Ambassador Ali Orari said Israel's recognition constitutes a "blatant and unprecedented violation of international law".

The emergency meeting, which was called by Somalia, was held a day after Israel announced that it would recognise the region.

Orari said the move was part of a broader Israeli plan aimed at displacing Palestinians.

He said Somalia would not be a part of "any effort to displace our Palestinian brothers from their land."

Yemen's Houthi group, meanwhile, said that any Israeli presence in Somaliland would be treated as a military target.
