Why has Israel recognised the “Somaliland” state?

Why will Saudi Arabia and Egypt be the largest losers?

The Israeli occupation state’s recognition of the “Somaliland” entity yesterday, as well as the exchange of diplomatic relations with it, confirms Israel’s regional fragmentation and division policy, posing a serious threat to the territorial unity and national security of its countries, particularly those bordering the Red Sea or geographically belonging to the Horn of Africa, beginning in the far north with Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Egypt, Yemen, and Jordan.

This “surprising” recognition of the need to consolidate and support the division of the Arab Muslim state of Somalia cannot come “without a price”; “Israel” is known not only for its stinginess but also for its extortion, driven by “geostrategic” aspirations that rely on the theory of giving a little and receiving a lot in return, materially, politically, and militarily.

The Israeli occupation state pursues numerous military and strategic benefits at the cost of Arabs, Muslims, and their African counterparts.

• First, Israel has and continues to intend to move hundreds of thousands of people from the Gaza Strip to “Somaliland”.

Netanyahu’s government had early secret discussions with the “president” of this statelet, which declared its independence from the nation in 1991 after a state of turmoil ensued following the American plan to depose the united ruler, Siad Barre. In exchange for receiving the displaced Palestinians from Gaza, leaks confirm that aerial and sea deportation plans are ready for practical implementation.

• Second, the occupying state intends to infiltrate and establish a military foothold in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Gulf of Aden, as well as to establish military bases to control the Arabian Sea and the Red Sea, including the opposing islands in Socotra and the abandoned ones on the western side facing Yemen, which has become an open resistance front against Israeli occupation. All Israeli attacks have failed to stop Yemeni supersonic or cluster warhead missiles that have closed the airports of Ben Gurion in Jaffa and Ramon in the Negev for nearly two years, forcing millions of settlers to seek refuge virtually daily.

• Thirdly, they aim to secure Israel’s marine commercial connections to Asia and East Africa, which contribute to 85% of its exports. These maritime channels have been entirely cut off as a result of Yemeni forces and missiles closing the Red Sea to Israeli ships, commercial or military, in solidarity with the militants in Gaza.

• Fourth, Israel controls the Suez Canal, blackmails Egyptian authorities, and protects the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam through its military presence in the Horn of Africa, notably in military outposts agreed upon in exchange for recognition.

• Fifth: Threatening all Arab oil exports, whether those coming through the Strait of Hormuz, or in the ports of the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Yemen overlooking the Arabian Sea, or even those from Saudi Arabia coming through the pipelines built by Riyadh that extend from the oil wells on the shores of the Gulf to the port of Yanbu on the Red Sea coast to avoid passing through the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran controls, or the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which Yemen controls

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Egypt are the two Arab countries most threatened by Israel’s aggressive move, reflected by the invasion into the southern Red Sea via the “statelet” of Somaliland.

Israel poses a direct threat to both countries’ strategic national security. Unfortunately, they have, as usual, limited themselves to condemnation and denunciation, just as they did when confronted with the Israeli fragmentation schemes that targeted and continue to target our brother Sudan, as well as the subsequent tragedies.

We expected Egypt and Saudi Arabia to immediately call for an Arab-African summit to take a united stance and devise plans to cut off this dangerous Israeli infiltration into the Horn of Africa and the entrances to the Red and Arabian Seas, which is threatening the security and territorial integrity of Somalia, an Arab League and African Union member.

The disintegration of Somalia follows the fragmentation of Sudan, with Syria on the way, as part of a well-planned Israeli-American strategy.

The acceptance of “Somaliland” may be the first formal application of this, and it could lead to the breakup of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and maybe Egypt, as well as the recognition of the minor states that will develop. South Yemen, with its capital in Aden, is rapidly regaining ground, and the republics of Hadhramaut, Al-Mahra, and Socotra may follow suit, either through independence or military annexation.

We must not ignore the Kurdish “SDF” state in northeastern and western Syria.

The scenario is gloomy and dangerous; official Arab complacency is at an all-time high, and Israeli aggression is growing with American support… O Allah, we have communicated… O Allah, bear witness.
