TEHRAN (Defapress) - Citing Ma'an, the Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that Somaliland separatist leader Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi had secretly traveled to the occupied territories last summer.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar also published a photo of himself with Mohamed Abdullahi.

During this trip, he also met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Minister of War, and the Director of Mossad.

It should be noted that Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar announced on Friday that the regime and Somaliland have signed an agreement to establish full diplomatic relations, which includes appointing ambassadors and opening embassies.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu invited Somaliland separatist leader Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi to visit the occupied territories via video conference.

The Israeli media had previously announced Somaliland as one of the options the regime was considering for the forced displacement of Palestinians living in Gaza.

The Somaliland separatists declared their independence from Somalia in 1991, but none of the United Nations member states have recognized them so far. The Somaliland separatists control the northern part of Somalia.
