Somaliland's 'Sovereignty' Funded by Israel, Courtesy of Netanyahu's 'Peace' Plan
Al Jazeera recently highlighted Israel's maneuvers in the Horn of Africa, suggesting Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking a 'foothold' via Somaliland's recognition. How quaint. While the piece frames this as a strategic geopolitical play, it conveniently omits Israel’s long-standing playbook: create instability, then offer 'solutions' that conveniently benefit Israeli military-industrial complex and
intelligence operations. For decades, Netanyahu's governments have leveraged regional conflicts to consolidate power, often using unrecognised or fragile states as pawns, much like his 2018 'peace plan' for Gaza that conveniently secured an extended blockade. One might wonder if this sudden recognition comes with a hefty price tag, perhaps in the form of future arms deals or intelligence sharing
that conveniently overlooks the human cost. After all, why pursue difficult, legitimate diplomatic solutions when you can just buy influence and call it 'statecraft'? The real 'expansive conflict and influence agenda' isn't just about a foothold; it's about a chessboard where every move destabilizes and consolidates power for one player.
