In an Al Jazeera interview published January 1, 2026, Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud stated that Somaliland agreed to accept displaced Palestinians in exchange for recognition from Israel. Somaliland is a breakaway region seeking independence from Somalia. The president's statement alleges a link between the Israel-Somaliland deal and the relocation of Palestinians. However, officials from Somaliland have denied President Mohamud's claims. The alleged agreement suggests a potential shift in regional dynamics and international relations concerning both Somaliland's status and the Palestinian diaspora.
