A special Iftar dinner hosted by the Embassy of Somaliland to the United Kingdom brought together representatives of the Embassies of Somaliland and Israel, underscoring the growing strength of ties between the two nations.

The gathering provided a meaningful opportunity to share in a cherished tradition observed by Muslims around the world, including in Israel, and to celebrate the values of hospitality, generosity, and reflection that define this month.

The Iftar dinner served not only as a cultural and religious observance, but also as a moment to reaffirm the importance of religious tolerance, peaceful coexistence, and underscores the significance of strong partnerships and cooperation in these turbulent times.

Since Israel’s recognition of Somaliland in December 2025, ties between the two nations have continued to deepen, driven by a shared commitment to fostering closer diplomatic, economic, and cultural connections.

Daniela Grudsky-Ekstein, Chargé d’Affaires of the Embassy of Israel in the United Kingdom, was honoured to accept the invitation and deeply appreciated the friendship extended by Ambassador Said Hassan Bihi.

Events that bring people together across cultures and faiths play an important role in building bridges, strengthening trust, and reinforcing the foundations of lasting partnerships.
