Former Algerian diplomat criticizes Arab normalization with Israel
Amar Belani says expanding Morocco-Israel and UAE-Israel ties are taking place amid the Gaza war and rising tensions in the West Bank.
Former Algerian diplomat Amar Belani condemned Arab normalization with Israel and warned that expanding cooperation among Morocco, the UAE and Israel could affect regional security and stability.
Former Algerian ambassador to Egypt Amar Belani has criticized the normalization of relations between Israel and several Arab countries, describing it as deeply regrettable amid what he called the ongoing genocide in Gaza and escalating violence against civilians in the West Bank.
In a Facebook commentary, Belani said Morocco’s growing diplomatic, economic, defense and security ties with Israel, alongside UAE support for Morocco, could reshape power dynamics in North Africa and the Sahel. He described the emerging Rabat-Abu Dhabi-Tel Aviv cooperation as a potential threat to Algeria’s security and regional stability.
Belani also accused Morocco and the UAE of prioritizing strategic partnerships with Israel over support for the Palestinians. His comments reflect his stated political assessment and were not independently verified in the source report.
