Israel has rolled out a lavish state welcome for Somaliland's president in Jerusalem, extending honors rarely accorded to the leader of a territory still unrecognized by any country or international organization. The visit aims to enhance Israel's influence in the Red Sea region. Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991 but is not recognized by any country due to its disputed status.
