Algers summons Emirati ambassador after issuing ‘repeated warnings’ to Abu Dhabi, which it has clashed with over normalization with Israel and Morocco’s claims to Western Sahara
Algeria said on Thursday it had decided to sever diplomatic relations with the United Arab Emirates after what it described as a series of “provocative or hostile” actions by Abu Dhabi despite “repeated warnings.”
The foreign ministry said the UAE’s actions had reached a point where they could no longer be considered acceptable or tolerable and that it had “exhausted all means of preserving bilateral relations.”
The UAE ambassador was summoned to the ministry, informed of the decision and given 48 hours to comply, the foreign ministry said.
“Algeria spared no effort to draw the Emirati side’s attention to, and to warn it against, the dire consequences that could result from its regrettable and unjustified conduct,” the ministry added.
