Algerian President: Keep Israel Out Of Mediterranean Union

Knowledgeable Algerian sources say that Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika is against Israel joining the Union for the Mediterranean, proposed by French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

The source said that Bouteflika made his objections known to French Interior Minister Michèle Alliot-Marie during her visit to the country.

Bouteflika also said that Israel could not possibly join the union as long as there was no full solution to the Palestinian problem.
