Press Statement (for immediate release)

Mogadishu, Somalia
July 25, 2025

The Federal Republic of Somalia welcomes the historic and principled announcement by the French Republic expressing its intention to recognize the State of Palestine. This significant step constitutes a reaffirmation of the legitimate right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and sovereign statehood, in line with international law and relevant United Nations resolutions.

Somalia considers this declaration a timely and courageous contribution to the growing international consensus in support of justice, peace, and the realization of a two-state solution.
