Safiirka Israel ee Itoobiya, Avraham Neguise, ayaa sheegay in taageerada dowladda Israel ee dadaalka Itoobiya ee marin-badeedka Badda Cas ay tahay mid siyaasad rasmi ah oo ay u qaadatay, isagoo sheegay in xasilloonida Badda Cas ay tahay dan guud oo goboleed ah.
Taageerada diblomaasiyadeed ee Israel
Safiirka Israel ee Itoobiya, Avraham Neguise, ayaa wareysi siiyay Wakaaladda Wararka Itoobiya (ENA) isagoo sheegay in Israel ay garab taagan tahay Itoobiya, isagoo yiri: 'Israel waxay Itoobiya ku garab taagan tahay dadaalkan. Tani waa siyaasad cad oo Israel leedahay.'
Safiir Neguise wuxuu sheegay in xoojinta Itoobiya iyo abuurista xasillooni ka jirta Badda Cas ay tahay dan ay wada leeyihiin dhammaan dhinacyada gobolka, mana aha oo keliya dan Itoobiya, isagoo intaas ku daray in Israel ay diyaar u tahay inay la wadaagto Itoobiya khibradda ay leedahay la-dagaallanka argagixisada.
Muhiimadda amniga Badda Cas
Safiir Neguise wuxuu xoogga saaray muhiimadda amniga Badda Cas, isagoo sheegay in qalalaase ka dhaca marin-biyoodkan uu saameyn karo dhaqaalaha caalamka oo dhan, isagoo yiri: 'Haddii Badda Cas aysan xasilloonayn, oo ay jiraan argagixiso weerarro geysanaya, dhaqaalaha dunida oo dhan ayaa dhibaatoon doona.'
Badda Cas iyo marin-biyoodka Bab al-Mandab ayaa ka mid ah marinnada ganacsi ee ugu muhiimsan dunida, iyagoo isku xira Badweynta Hindiya iyo Gacanka Cadmeed dhinac, iyo Kanaalka Suweys iyo Badda Mediterranean-ka dhinaca kale.
Muranka marin-badeedka iyo xiriirka Somaliland
Dadaalka Itoobiya ay ku raadineyso waddo kale oo badeed ayaa muran weyn ka dhaliyay gobolka kadib markii Addis Ababa bishii Janaayo 2024 heshiis is-afgarad ah la saxiixatay maamulka Somaliland, halka dowladda Soomaaliya ay si adag u diidday heshiiskaas.
Israel waxay noqotay dalkii ugu horreeyay ee si rasmi ah u aqoonsada Somaliland bishii December 2025, taas oo miisaan dheeraad ah ku yeelatay taageerada ay Itoobiya siin karto, iyadoo Safiir Neguise uu sheegay in ma uusan sheegin in taageeradu ay la xiriirto Somaliland ama deked gaar ah.
Israel has formally endorsed Ethiopia's quest for a permanent Red Sea maritime corridor, with its ambassador declaring the support an official state policy aimed at regional stability and economic growth.
Israel's Official Endorsement
Israel's ambassador to Ethiopia, Avraham Neguise, confirmed that the country's backing of Addis Ababa's Red Sea ambitions is a deliberate and official policy. He stated that strengthening Ethiopia and ensuring stability in the Red Sea are shared interests for all parties involved, not merely a unilateral Ethiopian goal.
Neguise emphasized that a secure Red Sea is vital for global economic health, warning that instability or terrorist attacks in the region could have far-reaching consequences beyond the Horn of Africa and the Middle East, potentially damaging the global economy.
Ethiopia's Economic Imperative
Ethiopia, which became landlocked after Eritrea's independence in 1993, relies heavily on Djibouti for its foreign trade, with over 95% of its imports and exports passing through the Addis Ababa-Djibouti corridor, according to the World Bank. The pursuit of an alternative maritime route is driven by the need to diversify trade, bolster its economy, and enhance its security posture.
The ambassador noted that securing a maritime corridor would help Ethiopia strengthen its economy, protect its sovereignty, and enable greater participation in regional security affairs, though he did not specify which port or type of agreement Israel supports.
Regional Tensions and Diplomatic Context
Ethiopia's search for a Red Sea outlet has been a source of regional controversy, particularly after a preliminary agreement with Somaliland in January 2024, which Somalia rejected as a violation of its sovereignty. Tensions eased following a Turkish-mediated agreement in Ankara in December 2024, which allows both parties to negotiate a framework while respecting Somalia's territorial integrity.
Israel's support carries additional weight given its recognition of Somaliland in December 2025, a move strongly opposed by Mogadishu. Meanwhile, Egypt and Eritrea have pushed back against non-coastal states claiming security responsibilities for the Red Sea, arguing that such duties belong to littoral states.
