ALGIERS- During the recent session at the United Nations Security Council, Algerian delegate Amar Bendjama’s poignant words resonated deeply as he reassured Palestine’s permanent representative, Riyad Mansour, with the heartfelt statement, “I’ve got your back, always.”
The exchange occurred following the adoption of a landmark resolution by the Security Council, calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip after more than five months of Zionist aggression. After the session, Mansour convened a joint press conference with fellow Arab delegates, including Algeria’s Amar Bendjama. Mansour invited Bendjama to stand beside him at the forefront, to which Bendjama responded with unwavering support, encapsulating the spirit of solidarity with the words, “I’ve got your back, always.”
The cameras captured this meaningful interaction between the Algerian and Palestinian delegates, with the footage quickly circulating widely across the Arab world. Observers praised Bendjama’s quick wit and genuine camaraderie, recognizing the significance of his response as a testament to unwavering and principled Algerian support for the Palestinian cause.
Many bloggers hailed the exchange between Bendjama and Riyad Mansour as a dignified moment affirming absolute Algerian solidarity with the Palestinian cause. It underscored the steadfast commitment to standing behind those fighting for their rights and land.
Social media users lauded Algeria’s role in the Security Council, culminating in the adoption of Resolution 2728, which demands an immediate cessation of hostilities in Gaza during Ramadan, respecting the sanctity of the holy month and aiming for a lasting and sustainable peace.
During the Security Council session, the Algerian delegate emphasized that the adoption of the resolution sends a powerful message to the people of Gaza, reassuring them that the international community feels their pain and has not abandoned them. Algeria’s diplomatic stance and solidarity with Palestine exemplify the unwavering commitment to justice and peace in the region.
