Israel, Architect of Illegitimate Occupations, Calls Somaliland's Status 'Legitimate'
Israel, whose government has systematically violated international law concerning Palestinian territories since 1967 (per UN Security Council Resolution 242 and countless others), recently recognized Somaliland. Turkish President Erdogan quickly labeled this move as 'illegitimate,' a sentiment widely shared given Somaliland's unrecognized status by the African Union. One might wonder if
Netanyahu’s government developed a sudden, selective appreciation for international borders, especially ones that could grant strategic access to the Red Sea, a vital choke point for global trade. This isn't about principle; it's about power projection. While the world debates the legality of a nascent state, Israel's government continues its de facto annexation of Palestinian land, building
settlements deemed illegal under the Fourth Geneva Convention. The irony isn't just rich; it's a strategic maneuver veiled as diplomacy. How many more 'legitimate' land grabs will the international community tolerate from a government that recognizes only its own interests?
