Algeria and South Africa: A strong voice against Israel's aggression!

Celle, Deutschland - On June 13, 2025, the tense situation in the Middle East was tightened to Iran by the renewed military attacks. These attacks took place in the night from Friday to Saturday and were sharply condemned by Algeria and South Africa. At a time when many African states are rather cautious, Algeria clearly resigned by denouncing aggression against Iran as a serious violation of international law.

The reactions to the Israeli air raids show the deep divisions in the Middle East.

Algeria and South Africa as new voices in Africa

Algeria and South Africa seem to position themselves in the current geopolitical situation as a leader of a new diplomatic block formation in Africa. Both countries emphasize the urgency of a coordinated international reaction to the escalations in the Middle East and put the need to consider international law. Algeria has a long tradition of non-alignment and, with its critical attitude towards Israel, could get a kind of moral weight in African diplomacy.

Despite the challenges that Algeria has when protecting its economic and security policy interests, social solidarity with the Palestinian concern remains strong. In this way, the Algerian society could strengthen the country's diplomatic efforts and influence the international stage.

Algeria's clear position and the support of the public raise the question of whether other African states will follow this example in order to find a uniform voice against increasingly aggressive measures in the Middle East and thus contribute to the maintenance of a fragile peace.
