Tunisian President Kais Saied on Tuesday presented Maged Boulos, senior adviser to former U.S. President Donald Trump on Arab, Middle Eastern, and African affairs, with images documenting the ongoing famine devastating Gaza’s population, especially children. The meeting took place at the Carthage Palace.

In a video published on the official page of the Tunisian presidency, Saïed questioned Boulos while showing the images: “Is this what international legitimacy looks like? The same legitimacy that is now collapsing across Palestine?” He stressed that the continuation of the current situation in Gaza is “unacceptable.”

He added: “These images only show a small portion of the daily crimes being committed against the Palestinian people,” asking, “What have these children done to deserve being killed? What has this people done to be denied its right to self-determination?”

Saied emphasized that the right to self-determination is clearly established in several international agreements, including the Treaty of Versailles, and stated that the time has come to put an end to what he called “systematic criminality.”

He concluded by affirming that Palestine will remain a core issue for Tunisia, both at the leadership and grassroots level, and that confronting this historical injustice requires firm moral stances rather than empty declarations, in order to restore justice and legitimate rights.

According to a statement from the Tunisian presidency, the meeting also covered other major issues, including the massacres committed against the Palestinian people, various forms of terrorism, and the broader situation in the Arab region. Saied reiterated that internal issues in every Arab country must be addressed by its own people without any foreign intervention, implicitly referring to foreign involvement in regional matters such as the Libyan crisis.

He also indicated that Tunisia had chosen to broaden its strategic partnerships in ways that serve its national interests and meet the aspirations of its people — a message likely aimed at the U.S., emphasizing Tunisia’s openness to multiple global partners.

American circles had previously voiced strong criticism of Saied following his exceptional measures taken on July 25, 2021. In response, the Tunisian president moved to deepen ties with U.S. rivals such as China and Russia.

Maged Boulos is currently on a regional tour to address several North African files, particularly the Libyan conflict and the worsening internal division.

He is expected to visit Libya on Wednesday, as part of diplomatic efforts to help resolve the country’s political crisis. Washington aims to prevent other actors, such as Russia and Europe, from dominating the Libyan file.

The tour includes Tripoli and Benghazi, where Boulos is set to hold key meetings with prominent Libyan leaders. In the capital, he is scheduled to meet Mohamed al-Menfi, president of the Presidential Council, Abdelhamid Dbeibah, the outgoing head of the Government of National Unity, and Sadiq al-Kabir, governor of the Central Bank of Libya.

The meetings are expected to address recent political developments, prospects for U.S. support for the political process — especially in light of challenges to the electoral track — and topics of economic and financial cooperation between the two nations.
