He further emphasised that any official suspected of prioritising interests other than those of the Tunisian people will be subject to disciplinary measures. If such actions constitute criminal offences, the official must be referred to judicial authorities for prosecution.
The Head of State underscored the urgent need to address unemployment, stating, «Thousands await their rightful access to employment opportunities, and we must expedite their integration into the workforce.» He praised the patriotism and sincere determination of citizens eager to contribute to national development, contrasting them with those who view power as «spoils» or extensions of specific lobbies.
Additionally, the President of the Republic discussed several draft laws and decrees slated for review in the upcoming Council of Ministers meeting.
He stressed that the highest priority must be given to social stability, noting, «Stability can only be achieved through justice, and growth will only be genuine in an environment where workers' and employers' rights are balanced, and investment returns are distributed equitably for the benefit of all.»

Tunisia Sentences Former President Moncef Marzouki to 22 Years in Prison in Absentia - Jordan News
Tunisia Sentences Former President Moncef Marzouki to 22 Years in Prison in Absentia A Tunisian court has sentenced former President Moncef Marzouki, former presidential chief of staff Imed Daïmi, and former head of the Bar Association Abderrazak Kilani to 22 years in prison in absentia, according to a ruling issued by the Tunis First Instance Court. اضافة اعلان Tunisian radio Mosaique FM reported on Friday evening that the Criminal Chamber for Terrorism Cases at the court handed down the sentence with immediate enforcement, also applying the same sentence to two unnamed additional defendants. The Court of Appeals' specialized terrorism division reportedly classified all the accused as fugitives. In response to the ruling, Marzouki issued a statement Friday evening saying, 'Judges have today sentenced me to 22 years in prison, adding to a previous 8-year sentence and another of 4 years.' He added, 'These rulings have targeted some of Tunisia's most honorable figures and continue to provoke international ridicule.' Marzouki affirmed, 'Rest assured, democracy will return, and Tunisia will resume building a state based on law and institutions. The people will rise to free themselves from fear, humiliation, and further descent into poverty.' As of 8:30 GMT, there had been no official response from the Tunisian government regarding the sentence. Back in May 2024, Hanène Kaddas, spokesperson for the Judicial Counter-Terrorism Division, told the official Tunis Afrique Presse (TAP) agency that a judicial inquiry had been launched against Marzouki and others involved in a press conference held abroad (reportedly in France, though the date was not specified). Kaddas accused Marzouki of 'attacking state institutions, defaming several judges, and attributing false statements that damage their reputations.' Tunisian President Kais Saied has maintained that the judiciary operates independently and that he does not interfere in its affairs. However, the opposition accuses him of weaponizing the judiciary to prosecute critics of the exceptional measures he began implementing on July 25, 2021, which included freezing parliament, lifting immunity from MPs, abolishing the Constitutional Oversight Body, and issuing laws via presidential decrees. Major political and civil groups in Tunisia have rejected these exceptional measures, calling them 'authoritarian and a consolidation of one-man rule.' Meanwhile, other factions support them, viewing them as reflecting the will of the Tunisian people. — (Anadolu Agency)

Algerian-led humanitarian convoy departs for Gaza to break 'Israeli' siege
A major solidarity convoy named 'The First Convoy of Steadfastness' set off Sunday morning from Algiers toward the besieged Gaza Strip, as part of the 'Algerian Initiative to Support Palestine and Aid Gaza.' The convoy includes over 200 activists and supporters, including Algerian parliamentarians and diplomats, reflecting both popular and official support for the Palestinian cause. The mission aims to break the ongoing 'Israeli' siege on Gaza and demand an end to the months-long bombardment that has caused an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe. The convoy departed from the headquarters of the 'Generation of Balance Academy' and is led by Sheikh Yahya Sari, a member of the Algerian Association of Muslim Scholars. It will first head to Tunisia to join a Tunisian convoy, before continuing through Libya and Egypt to reach the Rafah border crossing. 'This is a message to the people of Gaza: You are not alone,' Sheikh Sari said in a Facebook post. 'We share your pain, and this is a form of public pressure against the occupier in the face of international failure to stop the massacres.' Political and Humanitarian Message The convoy represents more than a humanitarian gesture. Organizers say it is also a political and moral message against Israeli Occupation's blockade of Gaza, which has led to severe shortages in food and medicine, and the destruction of infrastructure. Wael Nouar, the convoy's spokesperson, said the broader initiative involves more than 7,000 participants from across the Maghreb - Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Morocco, and Mauritania - and aims to pressure for the opening of the Rafah crossing and delivery of aid currently stockpiled in Egypt's Al-Arish. Facing Challenges The convoy is expected to face complex logistical and political challenges, especially given Israeli Occupation's control of the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing and coordination hurdles with Egyptian authorities. Organizers said the convoy would remain at the border for 2–5 days in an attempt to gain entry, with coordination support from international bodies such as the Global March to Gaza and the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. Some reports warn that 'Israel' may attempt to use the convoy to promote a misleading narrative about "open humanitarian corridors," despite restricting real access to aid. Maghreb and Global Solidarity The convoy is part of a broader wave of international support, with delegations from 42 countries—by land, air, and sea—joining the movement. Salahuddin Al-Masri, a Tunisian organizer, said the initiative reflects the 'will of the people of the Maghreb to stand with Palestine.' This comes amid dire warnings from the UN and humanitarian organizations that famine is threatening over two million Palestinians in Gaza. UNICEF reports that 92% of children under two and breastfeeding mothers suffer from severe malnutrition. Cry for Help Amid Catastrophe The convoy comes at a time when Gaza is experiencing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis; ongoing bombardment, mass displacement, and acute shortages of basic necessities. Since March 2025, Israeli Occupation has reportedly blocked aid entry, intensifying the suffering of civilians, particularly children, who are described by UNICEF as 'going to bed starving.'
