By Ms Widad Hamza (lawyer and human rights activist)

In an article published in the daily Africa News (issue 1285, Thursday 18 September 2025), Ms Widad Hamza set out the position of the Foundation's national committee in support of the Palestinian cause on the emergency Arab-Islamic summit in Doha.

Key points:

• the Arab presence remained more rhetorical than practical;
• the absence of genuine political will reflects double standards;
• the Palestinian people need concrete decisions, not formal statements;
• the Palestinian cause is not a secondary file but an existential cause for the whole nation.

The Hisn Al-Mateen Bloc Foundation affirms that Algeria remains the exception with its steadfast support for Palestine, in deeds and not just words.
