  "summary": "Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has reaffirmed Algeria's decision to cut ties with the United Arab Emirates, stating that the move will not be reversed. The decision, which was made following disputes between the two nations, was reaffirmed during Tebboune's regular meeting with national media representatives. Tebboune accused Abu Dhabi of attempting to exert domination over Algeria and rejected any attempts to undermine Algeria's sovereignty or interfere in its internal affairs. In September, Algeria severed diplomatic relations with the UAE and ordered the UAE ambassador to leave the country, citing increasing provocative and hostile actions by Abu Dhabi. The Algerian Ministry of Defense also announced the closure of Algerian airspace to all civilian and military aircraft registered in the UAE, except for scheduled commercial flights.",
