GCC Secretary-General Jasem Albudaiwi strongly condemned Israel’s recognition of Somaliland region, calling it a dangerous violation of international law and a clear infringement on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Somalia.

He warned that such a move would undermine stability in the Horn of Africa and fuel tensions, contrary to regional and international efforts for peace, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Saturday.

Albudaiwi reaffirmed the GCC’s support for Somalia’s security, stability, sovereignty, and unity, as stated in the final communiqué of the 164th GCC Ministerial Council.

He urged the international community to reject this action and refrain from recognizing any measures that threaten the unity of states or international legitimacy.

On Friday, Israel formally recognized the northern region of Somaliland as an "independent and sovereign state" -- the first country to do so.

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) said on Saturday that the Iranian regime's continued terrorist acts targeting infrastructure and civilian facilities demonstrate its desire to destabilize security and stability in the region and undermine peace efforts.

GCC Secretary-General Jasem Albudaiwi condemned in the strongest terms the continuation of what he described as hostile Iranian attacks targeting Bahrain and Kuwait.

He reiterated that these "treacherous Iranian terrorist acts" represent a dangerous and irresponsible escalation, a flagrant violation of all international laws and norms, and a direct threat to regional security and stability.

Albudaiwi stressed that the security of Bahrain and Kuwait is an indivisible part of the security of the GCC nations.

He reaffirmed that the council countries stand in a united, steadfast position alongside Bahrain and Kuwait, fully supporting all measures they undertake to protect their security, safeguard their sovereignty and territorial integrity, and ensure the safety of their peoples.
