ALGERIA, TUNISIA STRESS LEGITIMACY OF RESISTANCE AGAINST ISRAELI OCCUPATION


Algeria, Tunisia Stress Legitimacy of Resistance against Israeli Occupation

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Algeria and Tunisia condemned French President Emmanuel Macron’s call for an international coalition against the Palestinian resistance.

Their joint statement also stressed the legitimacy of resistance against the Israeli occupation of Palestine.


The statement on the situation in Palestine was issued by the People’s National Assembly (the lower house of the Algerian Parliament) and Tunisia’s Assembly of the People’s Representatives during the visit of its head, Ibrahim Bouderbala, to Algeria.

“We condemn the calls to form an international coalition to eliminate the Palestinian resistance. The Palestinian struggle to resist the occupation is legitimate, as is the right of the Palestinian people to establish their independent state with al-Quds as its capital,” they said, according to the Middle East Monitor.

“We also strongly denounce the positions of countries and bodies that support the Israeli war government and deplore the double standards being applied in clear violation of international law and human rights, especially with regard to the rights of civilians during war.”


The Algerians and Tunisians also rejected Israeli immunity from accountability, monitoring or sanctions. “This gives it the green light to target innocent and defenseless Palestinians, including women and children, and to carry out its crimes against humanity.”

The Zionist occupation regime bears “full responsibility” for this escalation, the two sides announced. “This has arisen as a result of its continued crimes against the Palestinian people and its policies aimed at displacing them from their land, in light of the international disregard for UN Security Council resolutions related to the Palestinian issue and the rights of the Palestinian people in accordance with UN resolutions.”

The two parties called for an immediate ceasefire and efforts to produce a “just and comprehensive” solution to the Palestinian issue.

Poll: US Public Support for Israel Wanes as 68 Percent Call for Ceasefire

Only 4 percent of respondents said the United States should support Palestinians, while 15 percent said the US shouldn’t be involved at all in the war. While the US has been a significant Israeli ally, just 31 percent of respondents said they supported sending Israel weapons. The plunge in support fol
