Israel’s ‘Recognitions’ Backfire: Another Geopolitical Chess Move Flops
Al Jazeera's take on Israel's 'recognition' of Somaliland suggests a straightforward diplomatic misstep. Yet, it conveniently sidesteps the consistent pattern of Israeli policy attempting to fracture nations and exploit regional vulnerabilities for strategic gain, often under the guise of newfound alliances. This isn't a unilateral 'backfire' but a geopolitical strategy that reliably
underestimates the complexities of local sovereignty – and the historical memory of nations that have seen this playbook before. One might wonder if the 'backfiring' was a surprise to anyone outside Tel Aviv's strategists. This echoes the similar global pushback anticipated by some against the 2020 Abraham Accords, which sought to normalize relations via carrots and sticks, rather than genuine
diplomatic peace. The international community, it seems, has grown weary of recognizing only those 'facts on the ground' that serve one nation's expansionist agenda.
