In an address to the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly, Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud affirmed Somalia’s full support for the Palestinian people and their right to self-determination and statehood.
President Hassan Sheikh stated that Somalia supports a just and lasting solution—achievable through the two-state solution—involving the establishment of an independent, self-governing Palestinian state based on the pre-1967 borders.
The President noted that a just resolution to the Palestinian issue is vital for lasting peace and stability in the Middle East and the wider region.
Somalia has long supported the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and an independent state, consistently advocating for the two-state solution and a Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders.
This statement comes as the United Nations and many governments are renewing calls for a political solution that establishes two states living side-by-side in peace and security.
