UNITED NATIONS: Pakistan has rejected Israel’s announcement recognizing Somaliland as an independent and sovereign state, declaring any attempt to displace Palestinians from Gaza as unacceptable and a clear violation of international law.
Addressing an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council convened over the issue, Pakistan’s Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Usman Jadoon dismissed Israel’s recognition of Somaliland and warned against alleged plans to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to the region.
Ambassador Jadoon stated that Pakistan firmly opposes any effort to forcibly displace the Palestinian people, emphasizing that such actions would undermine regional stability and violate international legal principles. He urged the international community to resolve the Palestine issue in accordance with United Nations resolutions, through a viable two-state solution.
Highlighting the situation in the Horn of Africa, the Pakistani envoy acknowledged that the Somali government is taking steps toward national stability, but said Israel’s move was irresponsible and risked further destabilizing the region. He reaffirmed Pakistan’s full support for Somalia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Pakistan also described Israel’s recognition of Somaliland as a blatant breach of international law. Several Muslim countries, including Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, have condemned Israel’s announcement and expressed serious concern over its potential geopolitical consequences.
Israel recently declared its formal recognition of the self-declared Republic of Somaliland as an independent state, a move that has sparked widespread criticism across the Muslim world and renewed debate at the United Nations.
