Djiboutian-Palestinian relations

Djibouti	Palestine

Djibouti–Palestine relations refer to foreign relations between Djibouti and the State of Palestine.

Ruwaid Abu Amsha is the ambassador of Palestine to Djibouti. There is a Palestinian embassy in Djibouti Ville, Djibouti. Djibouti supports ending the Israel-Palestine conflict through the implementation of the two-state solution.

History

Djibouti and Palestine established ties on 13 June 1978.

Djibouti criticized president Donald J. Trump for recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and it said it supported East Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian State.

President Ismail Omar Guelleh said in 2020 Djibouti will not establish ties with Israel until the Israel-Palestine conflict is resolved. Citizens of both countries are able to travel to both countries. Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, foreign minister of Djibouti, confirmed this again in March 2023.

Kamil Abdallah Gazaz, the ambassador of Palestine to Djibouti was given the Officer of the National Order medal by the government of Djibouti. During the 2023 Israel-Hamas war, Djibouti referred the war to the International Criminal Court. It blamed Israel for the outbreak of recent hostilities due to its treatment of Palestinians. Japan used its base in Djibouti to evacuate citizens from the war. Hamas praised Djibouti for taking a stance in favor of Palestine. At the Arab League, Djibouti opposed measures to cutoff ties with Israel. Djibouti had reservations about the United States led Operation Prosperity Guardian to prevent attacks on Israel linked ships by the Houthis.
