Algiers, Algeria | November 28th, 2024 — In a statement marking the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, Saleh Goudjil, Speaker of Algeria’s Council of the Nation, delivered a resolute message underlining Algeria’s steadfast commitment to the Palestinian cause. Published on his official account on the X platform (formerly Twitter), Goudjil’s remarks underscored the enduring tragedy faced by Palestinians amidst global inaction and the selective application of justice.

“The International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People stands as a testament to the ongoing catastrophe marked by genocide, where the principle of solidarity has been tarnished by double standards,” Goudjil wrote. “Genuine and unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people is the world’s challenge today and a national principle for Algeria.”

This statement comes against the backdrop of escalating violence and continued occupation in Palestine, a crisis that has drawn international condemnation but insufficient action. Goudjil’s message aligns with Algeria’s historical stance as a staunch advocate for Palestine, a cornerstone of the country’s foreign policy since its independence.

Algeria: A Beacon of Support for Palestine

Algeria’s unrelenting support for the Palestinian struggle is deeply rooted in its own history of liberation and anti-colonial resistance. The North African nation has consistently championed the Palestinian right to self-determination at regional and international platforms, from the United Nations to the Arab League. It has also provided material and moral support to the Palestinian people, reinforcing its reputation as a leader in defending just causes worldwide.

Under the leadership of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, Algeria has doubled down on its calls for global solidarity. In his recent statements, Tebboune reiterated that the Palestinian question is not merely an Arab or Islamic issue but a universal one that requires the unwavering commitment of the international community.

A Call to Action Against Double Standards

Goudjil’s tweet highlighted the glaring disparities in how global crises are addressed, decrying the selective application of international laws. His words reflect Algeria’s frustration with the lack of accountability and tangible measures to end the suffering of Palestinians, urging nations to move beyond rhetoric and take decisive action.

In recent years, Algeria has actively engaged in initiatives aimed at fostering unity among Palestinian factions, hosting reconciliation talks in an effort to strengthen internal cohesion within the Palestinian resistance. The country has also intensified its diplomatic efforts to galvanize support for Palestine at the African Union, the Arab League and the UN, reaffirming its stance that Palestine’s liberation is intrinsically linked to global justice and equity.

Algeria’s Commitment: More Than Words

Algeria’s solidarity with Palestine is not confined to symbolic gestures. The country has hosted numerous conferences and events advocating for Palestinian rights and has consistently championed resolutions supporting Palestine at international forums. Domestically, the Algerian people remain fervently committed to the Palestinian cause, with widespread public support for initiatives that align with the principles of justice and human dignity.

This enduring commitment underscores Algeria’s role as a torchbearer of justice and a relentless advocate for the Palestinian struggle, reflecting its broader vision of a world governed by fairness and mutual respect.
