Algeria strongly condemned the Israeli plans to militarily reoccupy the Gaza Strip and forcibly displace its residents, considering this step a blatant challenge to the will and resolutions of the international community, just days after the international conference on the two-state solution. Algeria reaffirmed its commitment to the establishment of an independent sovereign Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, describing it as a historic right that is inalienable and non-negotiable. The Israeli cabinet approved a gradual plan to occupy the entire Gaza Strip, starting with the occupation of Gaza City by displacing nearly one million residents southward, followed by encircling the city and conducting incursions into residential areas. According to UN data, 87% of the Gaza Strip’s area is already under Israeli occupation or evacuation orders, warning that any new military expansion would have catastrophic consequences.

Since the start of the Israeli extermination on October 7, 2023, the Israeli army controlled Gaza City before withdrawing from most of its neighborhoods in April 2024 after declaring the destruction of Hamas’s infrastructure. The Israeli extermination resulted in 61,369 Palestinian martyrs, 152,850 injured, over 9,000 missing, and hundreds of thousands displaced, with famine causing many deaths including dozens of children. Algeria called on the UN Security Council and the international community to assume their responsibilities and stop the genocide war against the Palestinian people, emphasizing the urgent need to address the catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
