China joined the backlash against Israel’s recognition on Friday of Somaliland. The territory unilaterally declared independence from Somalia in 1991, but Israel has become the first country to formally recognise its sovereignty. Regional powers such as Egypt and Turkey have condemned Israel’s move. Notably, Saudi Arabia was among them, but the UAE was not. Supranational actors like the Arab League, African Union, and the EU critiqued the recognition too.
