Albania, Kazakhstan and Kosovo have also pledged personnel to the US-led force, which is intended eventually to deploy some 20,000 soldiers in Gaza.The force\u2019s tasks are set to include maintaining security, training Palestinian police, facilitating humanitarian aid and preventing Hamas from reestablishing its military control.Somaliland has an army of approximately 25,000 soldiers and a coast guard of some 1,500 personnel, Abdullahi said. It has not previously contributed troops to an African Union force.Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi and President Isaac Herzog during Abdullahi's first official state visit to Israel, June 14, 2026. (credit: MARC ISRAEL SELLEM)Israel the first country to recognize Somaliland independenceIn December, Israel became the first country to formally recognize Somaliland as an independent state, ending the territory\u2019s 35-year struggle without international recognition. Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991, but Mogadishu still considers it part of Somalia.Somaliland opened an embassy in Jerusalem in June during Abdullahi\u2019s first official visit to Israel. This was its first formally designated embassy in the world, though it also opened an embassy-like representative office in Taiwan in 2020.Abdullahi said Israel\u2019s recognition has already significantly raised Somaliland\u2019s international profile, even though no other country has yet followed Israel\u2019s lead.\u201cThere has been much more attention paid to Somaliland following Israel\u2019s recognition,\u201d he said. \u201c Now you can find the word \u2018Somaliland\u2019 in every language in the world\u2014in Indian, Arabic and Chinese.\u201dAbdullahi said that for 35 years his country has been asking the whole world to \u201csee us,\u201d \u00a0and now they are paying attention.The president is expected to meet members of Congress next week, including Sen. Ted Cruz, one of Somaliland\u2019s most vocal supporters in Washington. Cruz has called on the US to recognize Somaliland, arguing that it could serve as an important American security and diplomatic partner in the strategically significant Horn of Africa.Abdullahi said he could not point to any American promise to recognize Somaliland, but added that his government had discussed both recognition and security cooperation with US officials.\u201cWe are optimistic,\u201d he said.Israel\u2019s recognition has, however, increased tensions with Somalia and Turkey, one of Mogadishu\u2019s closest military, economic and diplomatic partners.Turkey adamantly opposed Israel\u2019s move, arguing that Somaliland remains part of Somalia and that recognizing its independence violates Somalia\u2019s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called the recognition illegitimate and unacceptable and accused Israel of trying to destabilize the Horn of Africa.Ankara operates a military base in Mogadishu. It also trains Somali troops, has supplied Somalia with armed drones and is exploring for oil and gas off the Somali coast. Following Israel\u2019s recognition, Turkey also deployed F-16 fighter jets to Somalia, further expanding its military presence there.Abdullahi said Turkey\u2019s steps showed that Israel\u2019s recognition had concrete security consequences for Somaliland.\u201cThere is no free lunch,\u201d he said. \u201cEverything has some negative and some positive.\u201d\u201cWe created new enemies,\u201d he added, saying countries that had not previously provided Somalia with sophisticated weaponry were now doing so.Asked whether Somaliland faced a threat of invasion, Abdullahi said Somalia\u2019s president and defense minister had publicly spoken about invading the territory. Somaliland has enough manpower to defend itself, he said, but needs more advanced weapons and technology.\u201cWe need protection,\u201d he said, adding that Somaliland is seeking assistance from Israel, the US and other allies to \u201cbalance the situation.\u201dThe president said there is currently no Israeli or American security presence in Somaliland, but he did not rule out such a presence in the future, saying it could create both balance and deterrence.Asked directly whether he would like an Israeli security presence in Somaliland, Abdullahi said he expected a foreign presence \u201cmaybe in the near future.\u201dPresident denies discussing Israel using Somaliland territory for operations against HouthisHe denied, however, that Israel and Somaliland had discussed using Somaliland\u2019s territory or airspace for operations against the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen.Somaliland and Yemen face one another across the Gulf of Aden and have been neighbors for thousands of years, he said.\u201cAs a country, Somaliland, we don\u2019t have any conflict with the Houthis at the moment,\u201d he said. \u201cWe haven\u2019t discussed possible Israeli operations against them.\u201dAbdullahi also denied reports that Somaliland had discussed accepting Palestinians from Gaza as part of its agreement with Israel.\u201cWe haven\u2019t discussed it with Israel, we haven\u2019t discussed it with the Americans, we haven\u2019t discussed it with anyone,\u201d he said.The recognition declaration signed with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last year provides for cooperation in security, trade, investment and economic development, Abdullahi said. Water technology will be the top priority because Somaliland is semi-arid.He said he met representatives of more than 100 Israeli companies during his visit to Tel Aviv, including firms interested in Somaliland\u2019s potential oil and gas reserves.No concrete Israeli investments have yet been made, he said, \u201cbut we expect\u201d them.Follow us on Google" ], "output": "readability", "pwd": "/data/archive/1789034622.851442", "schema": "ArchiveResult", "start_ts": "2026-09-10T10:16:45.449468+00:00", "status": "succeeded" } ], "screenshot": [], "singlefile": [], "title": [ { "cmd": [ "curl", "--silent", "--location", "--compressed", "--max-time", "120", "--user-agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/118.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 ArchiveBox/0.7.4 (+https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/) curl/curl 8.14.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)", "https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-908185" ], "cmd_version": "curl 8.14.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)", "end_ts": "2026-09-10T10:16:45.441773+00:00", "index_texts": null, "output": "Somaliland willing to send up to 2,000 troops to Gaza force, president says | The Jerusalem Post", "pwd": "/data/archive/1789034622.851442", "schema": "ArchiveResult", "start_ts": "2026-09-10T10:16:45.409953+00:00", "status": "succeeded" } ], "wget": [ { "cmd": [ "wget", "--no-verbose", "--adjust-extension", "--convert-links", "--force-directories", "--backup-converted", "--span-hosts", "--no-parent", "-e", "robots=off", "--timeout=120", "--restrict-file-names=windows", "--warc-file=/data/archive/1789034622.851442/warc/1789035399", "--page-requisites", "--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/118.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 ArchiveBox/0.7.4 (+https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/) wget/GNU Wget 1.21.3", "--compression=auto", "https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-908185" ], "cmd_version": "GNU Wget 1.21.3", "end_ts": "2026-09-10T10:16:45.399797+00:00", "index_texts": null, "output": "www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-908185.html", "pwd": "/data/archive/1789034622.851442", "schema": "ArchiveResult", "start_ts": "2026-09-10T10:16:39.323363+00:00", "status": "succeeded" } ] }, "icons": null, "is_archived": true, "is_static": false, "latest": { "archive_org": null, "dom": null, "favicon": "favicon.ico", "git": null, "media": null, "pdf": null, "screenshot": null, "singlefile": null, "title": "Somaliland willing to send up to 2,000 troops to Gaza force, president says | The Jerusalem Post", "warc": null, "wget": "www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-908185.html" }, "link_dir": "/data/archive/1789034622.851442", "newest_archive_date": "2026-09-10T10:16:47.449056+00:00", "num_failures": 0, "num_outputs": 6, "oldest_archive_date": "2026-09-10T10:16:38.569160+00:00", "path": "/middle-east/article-908185", "schema": "Link", "scheme": "https", "snapshot_id": "e76fca20-3fd3-4fac-9dec-60ba9172ec61", "sources": [ "/data/sources/1789034622-import.txt" ], "tags": ",war-wiki,war_movement,pool", "tags_str": "war-wiki,war_movement,pool", "timestamp": "1789034622.851442", "title": "Somaliland willing to send up to 2,000 troops to Gaza force, president says | The Jerusalem Post", "updated": "2026-09-10T10:16:38.568792+00:00", "updated_date": "2026-09-10 10:16", "url": "https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-908185" }
