Abstract:
This study deals with an important topic, which is truly the subject of the current and the duty of time; the African position on the Arab-Israeli conflict, which is one of the important issues that brought Arabs and Africans together. Arabs in occupied Palestine have suffered, and continue to suffer, from a settler racist regime just as Africans have suffered from settler racist regimes in Africa. If most Arab countries have severed diplomatic relations with racist regimes in Africa, most African countries have severed diplomatic relations with the racist regime in occupied Palestine during the October War in 1973, and continued so until Egypt concluded the Camp David Accords in 1978 and signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1979, and thus the reasons for which African countries severed diplomatic relations with Israel and then began to restore relations with it. Thus, this study attempts to answer a key question: How has the African position dealt with the Arab-Israeli conflict since the severance of relations in 1973 until the signing of the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty in 1979 and the shift to the normalization of African-Israeli relations after that, leading to the acceptance of Israel as an observer member of the African Union in 2021?.
