The first delegation from Somaliland arrived in Israel on Monday for an official visit, led by the Director General of the Somaliland Water Ministry, Aden Abdullah Abdullah, along with other senior officials. The purpose of the visit is to strengthen diplomatic relations following Jerusalem's official recognition of the African country in December 2025.
Somaliland – an arid country facing chronic water shortages – is reportedly seeking to study Israel’s advanced water technologies. As part of the visit, the delegation toured the National Center for Water Education and Innovation at the Shafdan wastewater treatment complex in Rishon LeZion, in central Israel.
