Attaf: Algeria Welcomes the Convening of the Two-State Solution Conference Stemming from Genuine International Consensus

Algerian Minister of State, Minister of Foreign Affairs, National Community Abroad, and African Affairs, Ahmed Attaf, expressed on Monday evening Algeria’s welcome to the convening of the Two-State Solution Conference, resulting from a genuine international consensus, affirming that “this consensus is the key guarantee for a permanent, just, and final settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”

In his speech during the high-level international conference on the peaceful resolution of the Palestinian issue and the implementation of the two-state solution, Attaf stated that “this international consensus is the main guarantee for a just, lasting, and final settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.” He also described it as “a strong barrier against Israeli expansionist policies under the guise of the myth of ‘Greater Israel.’”

The Algerian Minister of State, Minister of Foreign Affairs also affirmed that this international consensus is “the strongest response to the illusions of the Israeli occupation and its assumptions that it alone holds the veto power over the establishment of the Palestinian state on Palestinian land.”

“It is now time to take concrete action to realize and enforce this consensus on multiple levels, the foremost being the expansion of the base of official recognitions of the State of Palestine as an undeniable international reality,” he said.

The second level involves enabling the State of Palestine to gain full membership in the United Nations—“the membership for which the President, Mr. Abdelmadjid Tebboune, has continuously called and advocated from this very UN platform,” he added.

The third level concerns “confronting, through diplomatic, legal, political, and economic means, the occupation’s plans to annex Palestinian land and displace the Palestinian people from their historic homeland,” Attaf said, adding that the fourth and final level relates to “the internal Palestinian front, which must unify its ranks and consolidate its voice in order to restore the independence of its decision-making, the strength of its actions, and the impact and resonance of its voice both regionally and internationally.”
