In Algeria, the campaign launched against the new partnership agreement signed by Morocco and the United Arab Emirates, on December 4 in Abu Dhabi, continues to make headlines. On Wednesday, December 13, the head of Algeria's Workers' Party Louisa Hanoune alleged that «there is a Moroccan-Emirati plot against Algeria, undoubtedly orchestrated with the complicity of Tel Aviv». «Morocco is receiving heavy and advanced weapons from the UAE», she claimed during a press briefing. «The UAE is inciting Arab countries to oppose Algeria and to ally with the Zionist entity so that it gains support in Morocco», the politician added. Hanoune's claims come two days after her meeting, Monday December 11 in Algiers, with President Abdelmadjid Tebboune. For the record, the general secretary of the Workers' Party fell into disgrace shortly before the fall of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika's regime. After a long trial, she escaped prison in February 2020.
