Lamamra receives the secretary of the Central Committee of the Fatah movement

The Minister of Foreign Affairs and National Community Abroad, Mr. Ramtane Lamamra received, Saturday at the headquarters of the Ministry, the Secretary of the Central Committee of the Fatah movement and Chairman of the Supreme Council for Youth and Sports, Jibril Rajoub.

At the end of the audience, Mr. Jibril Rajoub welcomed the initiative of the President of the Republic, Mr. Abdelmadjid Tebboune to end the division and achieve the Palestinian national unity, which is a prerequisite for the establishment of the Palestinian state.

He emphasized the commitment of the Fatah movement to this initiative which ensures the establishment of the Palestinian state on the 1967 borders.

In the context of the tragic events that the Palestinians are experiencing as a result of Zionist violations, Mr. Rajoub recalled that the Palestinian people are leading a permanent struggle against "the fascist and racist occupation that targets us in Palestine, land, people, history and sacred places".

Referring to the African Nations Championship (CHAN-2022), whose games are hosted at the Nelson Mandela stadium in Baraki (Algiers), Mr. Rajoub thanked President Tebboune who "encouraged us to use sport as a means of struggle as was the case for the FLN team" and stressed the readiness of Algeria to host the sporting events of Palestinian teams in support of the Palestinian cause.

Hailing Algeria for organizing this sporting event, he recalled that "the name of the stadium has a deep symbolic meaning in the hearts of Algerians and Palestinians".
