Not yet announced		Ambassador
Mohamed Hagi

On 26 December 2025, the State of Israel became the first country and UN member state to officially recognise the Republic of Somaliland as a sovereign and independent state. Somaliland regards itself as the legal successor of the State of Somaliland, whose five-day independence in 1960 was also recognised by Israel and 34 other countries. The entirety of modern Somaliland's territory is claimed but not controlled by Somalia, which does not officially recognise Israel.

In February 2026, Israel accepted the Somaliland ambassador appointment of Mohamed Hagi. Israel has yet to name their ambassador.
