At UN, Algeria says Israel seeks to divide Somalia, violates Gaza ceasefire

Algerian Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf on Monday said Israel is seeking to divide Somalia, attacking Syria and Lebanon, and failing to uphold the Gaza ceasefire agreement, Anadolu reports. Addressing the 81st session of the UN General Assembly in New York, Attaf said Israel continued to kill Palestinian civilians despite the ceasefire in Gaza, which has been in effect since October 2025. He reaffirmed Algeria’s support for the Palestinian people’s right to establish “an independent, fully sovereign state with Jerusalem as its capital.” Attaf also condemned Israel’s “continued attacks” in Syria and Lebanon and its “efforts to divide Somalia.” READ: UK foreign minister denounces Netanyahu government, vows tougher action over Gaza Turning to wider international affairs, Attaf warned of mounting crises and […]
