Algeria president urges Arab unity to confront ‘tensions and crises’
Algiers, Algeria (AFP):
Algeria’s president called Tuesday for Arab unity to face escalating “tensions and crises” as he opened the first Arab League summit since a string of normalisation deals with Israel divided the region.
Abdelmadjid Tebboune told the meeting’s inaugural session that “our central and primary cause remains the Palestinian cause”.
The Algerian president also warned that “exceptional global conditions are creating polarisation… which is impacting our food security”, without directly mentioning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“The regional and international context (is) marked by rising tensions and crises, particularly in the Arab world, which in its modern history hasn’t seen a period as difficult as the one it is currently undergoing,” he added.
