UN body exposes Algeria’s trading with Israel soaring to over $32 Mln in 2024

The fake Algerian populist rhetoric and inflammatory statements against Israel have been exposed by United Nations COMTRADE database which showed Algeria’s exports to Israel increased to $32.29 in 2024.

The hypocrite Algerian regime lambasts Arab countries which have normalized relations with Tel Aviv but it is covering up its growing commercial ties with Israel.

Officially, Algeria has no diplomatic relations with Israel. In public, it boycotts Israeli products under the pretext of “solidarity” with Palestine but bans all pro-Palestinian rallies or demonstrations against Israel.

On the international scene, Algerian officials boycott meetings and events featuring Israeli speakers or participation. However, behind the scene, the traitor Algerian military regime is engaging in trade exchanges with Israel, a trading which is viewed as a normalization with Tel-Aviv.

During the past year, Algeria exported to Israel over $32 million in organic chemicals and compounds of precious metals such as gold, silver, and platinum, in addition to radioactive isotopes commonly used in medical, scientific, and technical fields.

In 2023, Algerian shipments to Israel totaled $30.5 million against $21.3 million reported in 2022, according to the UN database on international trade.

Data compiled by the United Nations Statistics Division shows that Israel’s imports from Algeria stood at $15 million in 2021 and nearly $10 million in 2020.

According to UNCTAD’s 2024 annual report on Mediterranean trade, Algeria’s trade exchanges with Israel increased by 15% between 2021 and 2024, mainly in the technological and agricultural sectors.

When Morocco restored ties with Israel in 2020 within the frame of the Abraham accords brokered by Washington, the Algerian regime launched a smear campaign against the North African Kingdom, known for its tolerance and coexistence tradition.

But one year after the re-establishment of Moroccan-Israeli diplomatic relations, the Algerian rulers increased trading with Tel Aviv, revealing the extent of their hypocrisy prompting widespread derision.
