Algerian-Moroccan Relations Hit "Point of No Return"

Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has stated that relations with Morocco have reached "the point of no return" due to the ongoing dispute over Western Sahara and differences in their position towards Israel. Tebboune also accused Spain of being biased towards Morocco and forgetting its role as a former colonial power in Western Sahara. The two North African countries broke off diplomatic relations in 2021, and Algeria backs the armed Polisario movement seeking independence for Western Sahara, while Morocco claims the territory as its own.
