Algeria has reiterated its steadfast support for those suffering under what it described as a prolonged genocidal war in the occupied territories, affirming that core rights — including self-determination and establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital — are non-negotiable. The Algerian president, through a senior minister during an international observance day, condemned years of systemic destruction, forced displacement, famine, and collapse of essential services, urging that such efforts cannot break the resolve of the occupied population to reclaim their rights.
Highlighting the massive devastation in Gaza — from destroyed infrastructure to crippled medical services — Algeria warned this is part of a broader strategy to make life unlivable under occupation. Instead, the country argued, the suffering has heightened global awareness and solidarity, evident in growing public demonstrations, shifting diplomatic stances, and increasing recognitions of Palestinian statehood.
Algeria called on the international community to intensify efforts in upholding international law, demanding an immediate end to restrictions on Gaza and open every crossing point to ensure unhindered humanitarian aid and relief. The country also reaffirmed its support for granting full United Nations membership to Palestine as a vital step toward achieving sovereignty and dignity.
The firm stance of Algeria sends a clear message: despite the devastation and rising humanitarian catastrophe, the push for justice and Palestinian rights remains stronger than ever — and demands global solidarity, accountability, and real political solutions.
