Several countries, including Pakistan, at the United Nations have questioned whether Israel\u2019s move to recognise Somalia\u2019s breakaway region of Somaliland is aimed at forcibly relocating Palestinians from Gaza or to establish military bases.<\/p>\n
Pakistan has stated that Israel\u2019s \u201cunlawful recognition\u201d is \u201cdeeply troubling\u201d against the backdrop of previous references to it being a \u201cdestination for the deportation of Palestinian people, especially from Gaza\u201d. The remarks were made by Pakistan\u2019s Deputy UN Ambassador Muhammad Usman Iqbal Jadoon during a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) briefing on Israel\u2019s recognition of Somaliland.<\/p>\n
Israel became the first country to recognise Somaliland as an independent and sovereign state on Friday.<\/p>\n
In his remarks, Jadoon said, \u201cAgainst the backdrop of Israel\u2019s previous references to \u2018Somaliland\u2019 of the Federal Republic of Somalia as a destination for the deportation of Palestinian people, especially from Gaza, its unlawful recognition of \u2018Somaliland\u2019 region is deeply troubling.\u201c<\/p>\n
In March, the Associated Press reported that the US and Israel had reached out to officials in Sudan, Somalia and Somaliland to discuss using their territories as potential destinations for forcibly relocating Palestinians from Gaza.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor decades, Israel\u2019s dispossession and occupation of Palestinian land have been a central source of instability and conflict in the Middle East. It is now exporting this destabilising conduct to the Horn of Africa, with serious implications for regional peace and security,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said that Pakistan unequivocally rejected any proposals or plans aimed at the forced displacement of Palestinians. He noted that a previous UNSC resolution had endorsed US President Donald Trump\u2019s Gaza peace plan, noting that it stated that \u201cno one will be forced to leave Gaza\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
