Algeria
is all against any kind of settlement with Arab-Israel peace keeping treaty and
does not see the need to become a part of it either. According
to Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, Algeria has no intentions of sorting
out anything or normalizing its equations with Israel. According to Tebboune, the countries have
rushed aimlessly into entering an agreement with Israel.
Algeria is now moving towards Qatar and the latter
is happily showing support. It has always been Doha’s intent to show support
for anyone who tries to come close to the Middle Eastern big wig countries like
Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Showing its unstinting support for the Palestinian
issue at hand, Doha has moved closer to Algeria over the bilateral agreement
signed between Israel, US and a Middle Eastern country.
Under the aegis of Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani,
there was an official statement made by Doha in a Qatar news agency. It stated
that “the State of Qatar affirms its firm position on the Palestinian issue,
which stipulates ending the Israeli occupation and establishing the State of
Palestine with Jerusalem as its capital within the framework of international
legitimacy and relevant Security Council resolutions while granting all
Palestinian refugees the right of return.”
Keeping in mind the Palestinian issue that has been
a sour point with Israel, Tebboune has further commented that ‘the Palestinian
issue is sacred for us and it is the mother of all issues and will not be
resolved except by establishing a Palestinian state, with the 1967 borders,
with Holy Jerusalem as its capital.”
While Morocco and Algeria might see eye to eye, when
it comes to Israel, there is a common enemy.
Both do not want to side with Israel over the current leadership
refusing to accept the need for sovereignty of the Palestinian people.
Confirmed reports says that streets of Morocco have
been rocking with anti- Israeli slogan, renouncing the Arab nations from siding
with Israel. Despite US intervention, Morocco is also in no mood to move away
from its traditional lines and call it a truce.
For Qatar, this is a golden opportunity to show its
solidarity amongst Arab nations that continue to ostracize this natural gas
mini but rich Arab nation. Qatar has been under scrutiny for using unfair PR
practices to project its starling image which actually has always been
tarnished. The one major reason for this is its continuing to fund terrorist
outfit through various dubious bank accounts and NGO establishments in Europe.
