Support for the Palestinian People
On December 9, 1990, Algeria celebrated the third anniversary of the outbreak of the Intifadha, in tribute to the courage and heroic resistance of the Palestinian people against the occupation of their territories by Israel.
The origins of the Intifadha date back to the end of 1987 when four Palestinians were killed after being hit by a truck driven by an Israeli.
The Palestinian population was reacting to a premeditated crime, an act of revenge by the family members of an Israeli stabbed two days earlier.
On the day of the funeral of the four martyrs, young Palestinians, exasperated, attacked an Israeli military position in Jabaliya, in response to shots fired by the soldiers.
Three days later, while Israelis were still far from suspecting the scale of the popular uprising, the Intifadha spread across the entire Gaza Strip and to the gates of the West Bank, before spreading across all the occupied territories.
The Palestinian revolt caused significant economic losses in Israel, as it allowed the unification of all denominations and confessions forming the national entity of Palestine.
In November 1988, the Palestinian National Council, bringing together all the factions, was held in Algiers where the creation of a Palestinian state with Al Quds as its capital was proclaimed, for the first time.
