During the Second World War, several Arab countries were under Axis influence or control. Libya was an Italian colony (effectively controlled till 1943). Algeria was then part of France, under the rule of the pro-German Vichy regime. Morocco and Tunisia were French protectorates, also under pro-Nazi Vichy France.
