Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune will not attend the extraordinary Arab Summit scheduled for March 4 in Cairo, focused on recent developments in the Palestinian issue and the post-conflict situation in Gaza.
According to the official APS news agency, citing a well-informed source, Algeria will be represented by its Foreign Minister, Ahmed Attaf.
Algiers justified the absence by pointing to “imbalances” in the summit’s preparation, slamming what it considers a biased organisation swayed by a small group of countries.
Meanwhile, Morocco—known for its close ties with several key Arab players—has been fully involved in the summit’s preliminary talks.
The development underscores lingering diplomatic tensions within the Arab world, where strategic differences over handling the Palestinian question continue to surface.
