The UN Security Council will convene an emergency session to discuss Israel’s recognition of Somaliland, with members slated to lambast the move by Jerusalem.

Israel announced the move days before Somalia is slated to take over the presidency of the Security Council.

Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon says in a statement, “Israel will act responsibly and we will continue to cooperate with partners who contribute to regional stability.”
