The UN Security Council is set to convene an emergency session to discuss Israel’s recognition of Somaliland amid expectations that several members will criticize the move, Anadolu reports.
“The UN Security Council will convene on Monday for an urgent session following Israel’s recognition of the Republic of Somaliland,” Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon said on US social media company X Saturday.
“We will not shy away from political discussions,” he added.
