Algeria announced the severing of diplomatic relations with the United Arab Emirates on September 10, 2026, citing what it called a series of provocative and hostile actions by Abu Dhabi despite repeated warnings. Algeria's foreign ministry summoned the Emirati ambassador and gave 48 hours to comply. Relations between the two countries had been strained for years over differing positions on normalization with Israel, the Western Sahara dispute, and competing interests in the Sahel.
