G20 Summit.. Algeria calls for mobilizing international efforts to rebuild Gaza

During a speech by Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune at the G20 summit, read on his behalf by Prime Minister Aïmene Benabderrahmane, he stated that the atrocities committed against the Palestinian people are something humanity has rarely witnessed in its history.

Tebboune praised Erdogan, Trump, Emir Tamim, and Sisi for their roles in putting an end to the genocide in Gaza, and Algeria called on Saturday for international efforts to rebuild what was destroyed by the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip.

This was stated in a speech by the Algerian president during the G20 summit held in Johannesburg, South Africa, which takes place over Saturday and Sunday.

The G20 is a platform for the largest economies in the world, established in 1999 following the economic crises of the late 1990s.

President Tebboune said, "The massive destruction in the Gaza Strip calls for mobilizing resources at the international level to rebuild what was destroyed by the war and to restore hope to the grieving Palestinian people."

In this context, he urged G20 countries to take the lead in rebuilding a better future for the Palestinian people.

He announced that Algeria would join any steps taken by the G20 in this regard.

The Algerian president reminded of the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people over the past two years.

He pointed out that "the world has witnessed for two consecutive years the atrocities committed against the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, which can only be described as a systematic genocide against the Palestinian people."

Tebboune considered that the ceasefire agreement signed between the "Palestinian resistance" and Israel gives a glimmer of hope for a better tomorrow for the Palestinian people.

He praised the "great roles" played by the United Nations Secretary-General (Antonio Guterres) and peace-loving countries in efforts to stop the genocide in the Gaza Strip.

The Algerian president also commended the countries sponsoring the mediation.

He expressed special thanks to U.S. President Donald Trump, Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for their diligent efforts that enabled putting an end to this miserable genocide against the Palestinian people.

With the mediation of Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey, and under the auspices of the United States, Hamas and Israel signed a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip as part of a plan laid out by Trump, which came into effect on October 10.

The United Nations estimates the cost of rebuilding Gaza at about $70 billion, due to the repercussions of two years of Israeli genocide supported by the U.S., which, alongside the massive material destruction, resulted in the deaths of more than 69,000 Palestinians and injuries to 170,382 others.
