Paris heading towards a break with Algeria… and it is the biggest loser!
It has become highly likely that Algerian-French relations are on the verge of a break, an approach that many observers are now repeating, and which is embodied by the decisions issued from time to time from the two capitals, the latest of which is the exchange of expulsion of large numbers of diplomats from both sides for the second time in just one month. Amidst this escalation, the French Foreign Minister, Jean-Noël Barrot, announced on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, that France had summoned the Algerian Chargé d'Affaires in Paris to inform him of the French authorities' protest against Algeria's decision to expel 15 employees at the French embassy, whose appointments were not in line with the relevant bilateral agreements. The head of French diplomacy explained in a talk show on 'BFM TV' that his country would respond to the Algerian authorities' decision, but he did not mention the number of Algerian diplomats concerned by the expected decision or its date, a decision that was also included in a statement issued by the French Foreign Ministry, which was circulated on the same day. Algeria had summoned the Chargé d'Affaires at the French embassy in Algiers last Sunday and informed him of the decision to expel new French officials from Algerian territory who were performing duties at the French embassy in Algiers, according to a dispatch from the Algerian News Agency, which stated that the French employees were appointed outside the agreed diplomatic norms. According to the French official, the matter concerns 'all employees holding diplomatic passports who do not currently have a visa to Algeria.' It was noteworthy in Jean-Noël Barrot's statement that the Algerian authorities' decision was not preceded by consultation with the French authorities, a statement that lacks credibility, because France was the first to prevent Algerian diplomats from entering French territory. What is interesting is that this measure, which is regulated by the bilateral agreement signed between the two countries in 2013, and which Jean-Noël Barrot claimed was violated by Algeria, had previously been confirmed by the French Interior Minister, Bruno Retailleau, that Paris would stop implementing this agreement, even though the matter does not concern him at all. Then his counterpart in the government, the Foreign Minister, comes to accuse Algeria of violating the agreement in a position that raises questions about the extent of the chaos and confusion in the French government, which is suffering from fragility that could bring it down at any moment. With bilateral relations sliding to unprecedented levels of crisis, the French side emerges as the undisputed culprit for these unexpected developments, as it was the initiator of the offense, through the 'unfriendly' decision, which is inconsistent with international laws and United Nations resolutions, which is supporting the alleged sovereignty of the Moroccan regime over the occupied Sahrawi territories. Commenting on the rapid developments between Algeria and Paris, former Algerian Ambassador, Nourredine Djoudi, holds the French authorities fully responsible, due to their hostile positions towards Algerian interests and their provocations that refuse to stop. In the opinion of the retired diplomat, who is a former director of the Africa Department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the core of the problem lies in 'the weakness of the French government and the multiplicity of decision-making sources within it, so that a person like the Interior Minister has become involved in the affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while the Foreign Minister remains unable to put an end to his colleague's interference in the affairs of his portfolio, while the head of state (Emmanuel Macron) watches this scene.' The former ambassador believes that decision-making sources in Paris have fallen into the hands of unconstitutional forces, and he pointed here to the strong influence of the anti-Algerian Zionist lobby in France, represented by the Representative Council of Jewish Institutions in France (CRIF), on the current French authorities. Mr. Nourredine Djoudi did not rule out the possibility of bilateral relations reaching a break, but he explained that 'the biggest loser in that will undoubtedly be the French side, and the current reality confirms that. The import of grains, meat, and many other French products has stopped, while we have many alternative options to France.' He added: 'We are facing a second crisis similar to what happened in the 1970s between the late President Houari Boumediene and his French counterpart at the time, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, against the backdrop of the latter's decision to support the Moroccan regime in its occupation of Western Sahara,' stressing that Paris will be the losing party.

Cairo hosts Arab summit on Gaza reconstruction
Egypt will host an extraordinary Arab summit in Cairo on Tuesday to discuss developments in the Gaza Strip, with a focus on reconstruction and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. The summit follows Egypt's recent diplomatic efforts to consolidate regional support and propose an alternative plan for Gaza's recovery. However, divisions among Arab nations, particularly regarding disarmament and financial commitments, threaten to undermine the summit's success. Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty met with his counterparts from Iraq, Mauritania, Tunisia, and Bahrain ahead of the summit to coordinate regional efforts. In a separate meeting, Abdelatty and Jordanian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi reaffirmed their firm rejection of any forced displacement of Palestinians. They emphasized the need for international pressure to ensure the full implementation of the ceasefire agreement, seeing it as a crucial step toward a lasting resolution based on a two-state solution. Egypt is expected to present a reconstruction plan aimed at accelerating Gaza's recovery from the repercussions of Israeli aggression. Over the past several days, Egyptian officials have been working to develop a comprehensive vision for the initiative in an effort to secure broad Arab support. However, achieving consensus remains uncertain due to differing positions, particularly among key Gulf nations. The summit follows recent remarks by US President Donald Trump, who, during a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, revealed his administration's intention to take control of Gaza and relocate its Palestinian population to other countries. The plan, which was met with international condemnation, prompted Trump to later state that he was 'not in a hurry' to implement it amid growing backlash. Since 25 January, Trump has been promoting this initiative, despite firm rejection from Egypt, Jordan, and other Arab nations, as well as widespread opposition from regional and international organizations. However, internal disagreements among Arab nations could complicate the summit's objectives. The Algerian News Agency announced that Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune would not participate in the summit, citing 'imbalances and shortcomings in the preparatory process' and accusing a small group of Arab countries of monopolizing the discussions. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and the UAE have pushed for the disarmament of Palestinian resistance factions and the removal of their leaders from Gaza as a prerequisite for financing reconstruction efforts. Qatar has expressed reservations about this approach, while Egypt has opted to submit comments rather than take a definitive stance. Amid these diplomatic maneuvers, Israel has continued to escalate tensions. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reiterated threats to resume military operations in Gaza, stating that Israel will not hesitate to launch a renewed offensive if Hamas continues to hold Israeli prisoners. Netanyahu also voiced his full support for Trump's plan for Gaza, further deepening divisions over the future of the Strip. In response, Hamas has firmly rejected any proposals to extend the first phase of the ceasefire, emphasizing its commitment to the original three-phase framework agreed upon in negotiations. A senior Palestinian resistance leader disclosed that Gaza's joint resistance factions have raised their state of readiness in anticipation of potential Israeli military actions. According to the source, orders have been issued to resistance units securing Israeli prisoners to reinforce security measures, reverting to pre-agreement protocols before the ceasefire took effect on 19 January. On Sunday evening, the European Union urged the swift resumption of negotiations for the second phase of the ceasefire, stressing the need for full, safe, and unhindered humanitarian access for Palestinians in need. The EU also condemned Hamas's refusal to extend the first phase of the ceasefire and warned that Israel's subsequent decision to block humanitarian aid into Gaza could have severe consequences for the civilian population.

Algerian President won't participate in emergency Arab summit in Cairo
Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune on Sunday has chosen not to participate in the emergency Arab summit on the Palestinian crisis scheduled for Tuesday in Cairo. The Algerian News Agency reported an informed source as saying that Tebboune decided not to personally participate in the summit and assigned Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf to instead represent Algeria. The same source said that the decision comes 'Against the backdrop of the imbalances and shortcomings that marred the preparatory process for this summit, as this process was monopolized by a limited and narrow group of Arab countries that monopolized the preparation of the outcomes of the upcoming summit in Cairo without the slightest coordination with the rest of the Arab world concerned with the Palestinian issue.' The source explained that the Algerian president was disapproved of this method of work, based on involving some countries and excluding others as if the Palestinian issue did not concern all Arab nations.
