Somaliland's government announced that Hebrew will be taught in some primary schools in its major cities, the president said during his visit to Israel. "Israel is the future, and we want to be there," he added. The announcement follows the opening of a Somaliland embassy in Jerusalem this week.
Somaliland's government announced it will introduce Hebrew language instruction in select primary schools across its major cities, President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi said Saturday during his visit to Israel. In a social media post, the government quoted the president as saying, 'Israel is the future, and we want to be there. All countries will understand this, but the first get more.' The move deepens ties between the breakaway Horn of Africa state and Israel, following the opening of a Somaliland embassy in Jerusalem earlier this week. As The Zioneer reported earlier this month, the president had also expressed openness to hosting an Israeli military base. No timeline for the Hebrew curriculum was announced.
