Abdelkader Taleb Omar, declared that Trump's agreement with Rabat and
Tel Aviv is null, lacks legitimacy, and violates the United Nations (UN)
resolutions.</p><div id="gmail-attachment_441701" class="gmail-wp-caption"><p><img src="https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/12-12-2020-500x310.jpg" alt="A growing number of countries in the MENA region are normalising ties with Israel - Cartoon [Sabaaneh/MiddleEastMonitor]" style="margin-right: 0px;" width="419" height="260"></p><p class="gmail-wp-caption-text">A growing number of countries in the MENA region are normalising ties with Israel – Cartoon [Sabaaneh/MiddleEastMonitor]</p></div><p>In
his statement to the official Algerian news agency, the Sahrawi
ambassador stressed that this agreement: "Will not affect the
determination of the Sahrawis in their struggle for their cause." Omar
explained that Trump does not have the right to control sovereignty over
the disputed land, and that: "Only the <a href="https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20180921-morocco-confirms-it-will-not-renew-relations-with-iran/">Sahrawi people</a> have the right to decide on the matter."</p><p>Omar
confirmed that the partners in the agreement: "Are doing business,
usurping the rights of people and trading with the blood of the
Palestinian and Saharawi peoples", while confirming that this deal "will
never succeed," given that Trump is about to leave the White House.</p><p>The
Sahrawi ambassador indicated that the outgoing US president who:
"Denies the rights of the Saharawi people is acting individually," and
that his move "does not express the position of the new US
administration," while comparing Trump's position with his rejection of
the results of the presidential elections in his country.</p><p>The
Sahrawi official asserted: "This agreement is nothing but a summer cloud
that will evaporate after Trump's departure from the White House,"
recalling the UN's clear position on the Western Sahara issue.</p><p><strong><a title="Morocco-Israel normalisation is a slap in the face of the African Union" href="https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20201211-morocco-israel-normalisation-is-a-slap-in-the-face-of-the-african-union/">OPINION: Morocco-Israel normalisation is a slap in the face of the African Union</a></strong></p> </div></div></div>
