Somalia has condemned Israel's recognition of Somaliland as a “violation of its sovereignty” and a “threat” to the security and stability of the Horn of Africa region. Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of committing the greatest violation against Somalia, warning Israel not to transfer its wars to Somalia. He also expressed Mogadishu's opposition to the potential displacement of Palestinians from Gaza to Somaliland, a proposal that has been reported in some media outlets, but has not been confirmed by the governments of Israel or Somaliland.
