Good. I'm glad that Israel recognises the State of Somaliland.
Yay, Somaliland!
The rest of the world, the United Nations, losing their minds over this, is the best part. For it highlights their hypocrisy.
Natasha Hausdorff, international law expert, who I've had on here many times, sets it out.
The case for recognising "Palestine" was about zero of the four requirements of statehood. That is: 1. A permanent population. 2. A defined terrirory. 3. A government. 4. A capacity to enter into international relations. NONE of those was present when my own country, of which I'm ashamed in this regard, recognised "The State of Palestine".
ALL of these criteria exist in the case of Somaliland.
And: Israel will have an ally opposite the Houthis. An ally which says it will join the Abraham Accords.
The Abraham Accords are the greatest chance of making the Middle East a livable, a growing, a flourishing, centre of humanity. Not Hamas. Not Iran. Not Islam. No. The practicalities of the Abraham Accords. To invent. To innovate. To be an open, liberal, tolerant, clever society.
