Iran Press/ America: Addressing the annual session of the UN General Assembly, Abdelmadjid Tebboune emphasized the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to an independent state with Jerusalem Al Quds as its capital.
The right of the Palestinian people to have a state with Jerusalem as its capital is not subject to bargain, the Algerian president said on Wednesday.
Abdelmadjid Tebboune’s remarks came at a speech he delivered at the 75th UN General Assembly via video link.
Tebboune said that the Palestinian issue is a constant of the foreign policy of the Algerian state.
"We will remain a support for Palestine and its people who are fighting against a brute colonial force until the achievement of its independent state," Tebboune asserted.
According to Al Jazeera television, he added a just solution to the Palestinian question is the only way to bring peace to the Middle East.
Elsewhere in his speech, Tebboune said, "We reaffirm our commitment to the fight against terrorism and violent extremism."
On Sept. 15, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain signed US-brokered normalization agreements with Israel at the White House; ignoring the Palestinian rejection. Yet, Riyadh has not declared its rejection or support for these agreements.
Tebboune also stressed in his speech the need to accelerate a comprehensive UN reform to improve its performance and to ensure fair representation of the African continent in the Security Council in line with the Sirte Declaration.
