The spokesman of the Israeli government told a local television station, Channel 10, that the financial support of Algeria to the Gaza Strip is an action of support to a terrorist organization, namely Hamas , believing that with $ 25 million is a hostile act against the State of Israel. The Israeli Zionist government responded thus to the decision by Algeria to give urgent aid to Palestine and especially the population of Gaza. Having been rather discreet in its position vis-à-vis the situation in Gaza, subjected to an unprecedented assault on the part of Israel, Algeria has decided to take the initiative in expressing its strong condemnation of Israeli aggression that made hundreds civilians dead, including a majority of women and children. The Algeria has decided to take action by financially supporting the Palestinians and by publicizing this initiative for coordinated to stop Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip Arab action. The Algeria, through its Minister of Foreign Affairs, reaffirmed earlier yesterday its strong condemnation of Israeli violence and state terrorism against the people of Gaza and called international actors influential to assume their responsibilities in these killings. Algeria continues to monitor closely the tragic developments of the situation in Gaza, occurred in the days marking the Eid al-Fitr which saw an escalation occur in horror and a significant increase of Palestinian martyrs fell victims Israeli aggression, said Lamamra in a statement to APS. Reiterating its strong condemnation of Israeli violence and state terrorism against a supposed population be protected under international humanitarian law, Algeria calls on all international actors may have some influence on the perpetrators of these killings take their responsibilities before history to face genocide under that betray the nature, scope and effects of Israeli military operations, added the head of Algerian diplomacy. Algerians have also observed today Thursday at noon, a minute of silence and five minutes of interruption of work throughout the national territory, in tribute to the Palestinian victims of Gaza and in solidarity with the Palestinian people. Algeria is one of the few Arab countries do not maintain diplomatic and trade relations with the Zionist entity. Israel has often expressed concern strengthening by Algeria of its military arsenal and modernize its army, although the two countries are geographically distant. Algeria has, meanwhile, been alongside various Palestinian factions which it has long hosted the leaders, especially in the 70s and 80s. A handshake protocol as stealthy as between Abdelaziz Bouteflika and Ehud Barak to funeral of King Hassan II of Morocco, in 1999, had persuaded a possible rapprochement between Algeria and Israel. But the expansionist policy of Tel Aviv and steadfast and immovable Algiers vis-à-vis the Palestinian issue positions were quickly buried any possibility of warming between the two capitals. The Israeli aggression against Gaza just prove that Israeli leaders are far from wishing to establish a just and lasting peace in the Middle East. Meriem Sassi
