The Al-Sawahra Al-Maqdisi Club, which was founded in 1976, is currently ranked eighth in the Palestinian League.
Algeria has taken honorable stances in support of the Palestinian cause on several occasions. Furthermore, the Algerian presidency has previously shown clear rejection of normalizing ties with the Israeli occupation.
The Foreign Minister of Algeria, Ramtane Lamamra, has lately condemned the campaign led by Morocco to grant "Israel" observer status in the African Union.
Lamamra stressed that all Arab and African member countries oppose granting "Israel" observer status, with the exception of Morocco.
