BY: Hana Saada
ALGIERS– Three years ago, President Abdelmadjid Tebboune made a statement that set a precedent among Arab leaders. He boldly declared, “Algeria will not participate in the rush to normalization.” This visionary statement underscored Algeria’s unwavering commitment to the Palestinian cause, a stance that continues to be validated by the unfolding events in Gaza. President Tebboune’s foresight and steadfast belief that the Palestinian issue is sacred and the mother of all issues have remained at the core of Algeria’s foreign policy.
President Tebboune’s assertion, made three years ago, was clear: the Palestinian issue is not just a regional concern but a global imperative. It is a matter that transcends borders, and its resolution is intrinsically tied to the establishment of a Palestinian state along the 1967 borders, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital. This vision, articulated by President Tebboune, remains as pertinent today as it was then, underscoring Algeria’s unwavering support for the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination.
The recent events in Gaza have only served to reinforce the sincerity and validity of President Tebboune’s visionary perspective. Algeria, under his leadership, has consistently been a vocal advocate for a just solution to the Palestinian issue. These events have demonstrated the urgency of addressing the longstanding crisis and underscore the importance of adherence to international legitimacy resolutions.
In his recent speech before the United Nations, President Tebboune emphasized Algeria’s reliance on international legitimacy resolutions in the pursuit of justice and peace in the region. He reiterated that Algeria remains steadfast in its support for just causes, cognizant of the price of seizing freedom. Algeria is firmly committed to the Arab Peace Initiative, which serves as a comprehensive framework for settling the Palestinian issue and bringing an end to the occupation. The President’s words echoed the sentiments of a nation that understands the profound impact of the Palestinian question on the stability of the entire region.
Algeria’ stance, as exemplified by President Tebboune’s visionary leadership, not only demonstrates the nation’s commitment to principles of justice and international law but also its dedication to ensuring regional stability. It sends a powerful message to the world that the Palestinian issue is far from forgotten and remains a vital concern for Algeria.
