Abdelmadjid Tebboune calls for Palestinian state, end to occupation of Syria’s Golan Heights He confirms that Palestine’s application to obtain full member status in UN has Algeria’s full backing NEW YORK: Resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is “the main key” to bringing security and stability to the Middle East, Algeria’s president said on Tuesday as his country celebrates 60 years of independence. Addressing the 78th session of the UN General Assembly, Abdelmadjid Tebboune added that the international system is at a “critical juncture,” and that escalating tensions portend serious global repercussions. “From this platform, I reiterate that addressing the Palestinian issue remains the main key to restoring security and stability in the Middle East region, by devoting the right of the brotherly Palestinian people to establish their independent state on the borders of June 4, 1967, with Jerusalem as its capital, while ending the occupation of the Syrian Golan in accordance with (UN) resolutions,” he said. Tebboune confirmed that Palestine’s application to obtain full member status in the UN had Algeria’s full backing.
