The Tunisian president said: Normalization with Israel is not in my dictionary

Tunisian President Kais Sayed addressed the public on the official Tunisian television channel.

Commenting on the law criminalizing normalization with Israel, which was discussed in the Tunisian People’s Assembly yesterday, Muawiyah said: “There is no normalization (with Israel) in my dictionary. Tunisia’s position on normalization is stable, and our position on the draft law criminalizing normalization has been discussed.” He said: “In Parliament, it has not changed. If it changes, this will be Palestine. This will be a betrayal of the people.”

Sayed stressed that Tunisia will continue to stand by Palestine with all its might, and said, “Tunisia will provide all kinds of support to Palestine until the occupation ends. The struggle of the Palestinians against the occupation is the struggle for the rights of the oppressed.” He added that establishing any kind of relationship with the occupying state is a betrayal of the Palestinian people. He said: “Article 60 of the Penal Code must be applied to the perpetrators of this crime.”

Chapter 60 of the Tunisian Penal Code considers all cooperation with the occupying state treason, and stipulates that the penalty for this crime is death. This article is considered an important legal basis for Tunisia in its war against the occupying state.
