The Arab Parliament condemned on Friday Israel’s latest aggression against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.

It slammed it for targeting innocent civilians, claiming the lives of dozens of victims.

It held Israel responsible for the consequences of this “dangerous escalation against the Palestinian people.”

It denounced it for carrying out strikes “against civilian locations in blatant defiance of international law and violation of the United Nations Charter and international treaties.”

It called on the international community to intervene immediately to stop the escalation and protect civilians.

France Declines to Comment on Algeria’s Anger over Recognition of Morocco’s Claim over Sahara

Paris declined to comment on Algeria’s “strong condemnation” of the French government’s decision to recognize Morocco’s claim over the Sahara.

The office of the French Foreign Ministry refused to respond to an AFP request for a comment on the Algeria’s stance.

It did say that further comments could impact the trip Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune is set to make to France in late September or early October.

The visit has been postponed on numerous occasions over disagreements between the two countries.

France had explicitly expressed its constant and clear support for the autonomy rule proposal over the Sahara during Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne’s visit to Morocco in February, reported AFP.

The position has helped improve ties between Rabat and Paris.

On Thursday, the Algerian Foreign Ministry expressed “great regret and strong denunciation" about the French government's decision to recognize an autonomy plan for the Western Sahara region "within Moroccan sovereignty”.

Algeria was informed of the decision by France in recent days, an Algerian foreign ministry statement added.

The ministry also said Algeria would draw all the consequences from the decision and hold the French government alone completely responsible.
