Algeria: A bill to criminalize any economic link with Israel?

While the Israeli-Palestinian conflict divides actors in the international world, the Algerian Parliament wishes to activate all economic boycott mechanisms against Israel.

Last Monday, November 11, a group composed of around sixty Algerian deputies submitted to Parliament a bill which includes the prohibition of any standardization or commercial and economic transaction between public and private Algerian companies and foreign companies which “finance Israel,” said the pan-Arab news site Al-Araby Al-Jadeed.

Abdessalam Bashagha, one of the deputies behind the bill, indicated to our colleagues that the bill had been finalized and that the necessary signatures had been collected to submit a parliamentary proposal.

“The law aims to strengthen the official position of the Algerian state which rejects any economic or commercial relationship, in whatever form and under whatever name, with the “Zionist entity”,” he said.
