The talks between Algerian and American diplomats continue to revolve around the situation in the Gaza Strip.
Yesterday, Monday, marked a new milestone in the consultations with an exchange between Ahmed Attaf, Algerian Minister of Foreign Affairs, and his American counterpart, Anthony Blinken.
A statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Community Abroad specified the details of this exchange. Ahmed Attaf was contacted directly by Anthony Blinken to discuss the evolution of the Palestinian situation.
Discussions between the two parties particularly focused on the situation in Palestinian territories, with an emphasis on the Gaza Strip.
Perspectives on Palestine’s Membership in the UN
The meeting also addressed the ongoing discussions in the Security Council regarding the possible membership of Palestine as a full-fledged member state of the United Nations.
This meeting comes at a crucial diplomatic context as the UN Security Council debates Palestine’s membership request at the UN as a full member, with a decision expected by the end of the month.
It is worth noting that this discussion comes shortly after the last exchange between Attaf and Blinken, just before the Security Council vote on Algeria’s resolution for a ceasefire in Gaza during Ramadan. The United States abstained from this vote, marking a change from their previous vetoes.
Discussions between Algeria and the United States reflect the ongoing commitment of both nations to seek diplomatic solutions to regional conflicts, particularly regarding the delicate situation in Gaza.
As negotiations continue, the outcome of the deliberations at the UN Security Council regarding Palestine’s membership will be closely monitored, with significant implications for regional stability and peace efforts.
