InsightIn the era of the Abraham Accords, why is Algeria articulating fiercely pro-Palestinian positions? Yet amid this wave of normalisation, Algeria has made its pro-Palestinian position crystal clear. Even when other Arab states — notably those which signed the Abraham Accords last year — essentially dropped their pan-Arab commitments to the Palestinian struggle, Algeria has stood by the cause. This pro-Palestinian stance is principled, coherent, and rooted in a uniquely Algerian way of thinking about international relations. The fact that this position goes against a current trend in the Arab world does not increase the odds of Algeria abandoning it.
