A reliable source told Al-Mayadeen that the entry visa for the chief rabbi of France, Chaim Corsia, had been officially canceled in Algeria.
The source pointed out that Corsia will not be part of the official delegation accompanying French President Emmanuel Macron, and said, “There is no Jewish community in Algeria for this rabbi to visit.”
The source stressed that “Algeria will not be drawn into normalization and reject it in all its forms, and it is steadfast in championing just causes, most notably Palestine and Western Sahara.”
In this context, the “French channel Rmc” claimed that the chief rabbi of France was infected with the Corona virus, and said, “He will not accompany the French president on his visit to Algeria.”
.
It is noteworthy that the head of the Society for Peace Movement, Abdel-Razzaq Makri, had warned against the visit of the chief rabbi of France to Algeria, warning of intensive attempts to drag the country into normalization.
Macron’s escort, the chief rabbi of the Jews, during his visit to Algeria provoked reactions on social media, which saw the visit as “an attempt by Paris to provoke and put pressure on Algeria.”
The Elysee Palace had announced a few days ago that French President Emmanuel Macron would visit Algeria with the aim of reviving the partnership between the two countries, after months of tension.
Macron’s office said, “The president accepted an invitation from his Algerian counterpart, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, and this will be Macron’s second official visit to Algeria, which has close commercial relations with Paris.”
“The visit will contribute to deepening bilateral relations, strengthening French-Algerian cooperation in facing regional challenges, and continuing to work on the memory” of the colonial period, said a statement by the French presidency.
