Somaliland leader says Israeli firm could be granted port access

The president of the breakaway Somaliland region stated that his party has not ruled out granting an Israeli company access to a port. This statement highlights the region's strategic location and importance for maritime security, particularly as Houthi attacks disrupt trade in the Red Sea. The leader also welcomed Israeli investments in various sectors, including energy, tourism, and agriculture, to leverage Somaliland's resources. This development follows Israel's recent official recognition of Somaliland and earlier reports that the region could potentially host an Israeli military base.
