The Zionist Entity considers Algeria as a “pivotal state” in the Arab Maghreb which stands before its aims in the region, said yesterday the Jordanian academic and political scientist, Walid Abdelhay who pointed out that Israel uses the Morocco to try to weaken Algeria.
“Studies published by Israeli institutions, in particular the Israeli Institute for National Security (INSS) reveal constant monitoring of the situation in the Arab Maghreb… The Israelis consider Algeria to be a pivotal state in the Arab Maghreb. Due to its revolutionary history, Algeria constitutes an obstacle to the Israeli conquest of this region, which explains its attempts to use Morocco to weaken Algerian cohesion,” Abdelhay said in a statement to the press. The academician clarified that Israel will work indirectly to support certain Libyan parties and certain forces in Tunisia to cause regional problems for Algeria and will try to strengthen, in coordination with Morocco, its presence in the Sahel, he said. underline.
Regarding the visit of Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz to Morocco, he explained “that this is a step within the framework of a cooperation program between the two parties dating back to the 1960s”. A program relaunched in December 2020 thanks to the resumption of diplomatic relations between the two countries as part of the deal between the United States and Morocco. Mr. Abdelhay recalled that Morocco is known for its role in arranging the meetings between Anouar El Sadat with Israel which preceded the Camp David agreements, considering that the visit of the Israeli minister is part of a secret and announced cooperation program between the two parties. This program encompasses intelligence, military, economic and political cooperation aimed at making the Abraham Accords a reality. On the possible signing of a defense cooperation agreement, Mr. Abdelhay said that he does not think that the orientation in Benny Gantz’s visit is towards a common defense between Morocco and Israel, explaining that this “would implicate Israel in the multiple problems of the Arab Maghreb”. “It will probably be about strengthening military cooperation, including military production in certain areas such as drones, exchanges of military visits and participation in military training,” he said.
Asked about the reasons that would motivate Morocco to sign a military cooperation agreement with Israel, the political scientist pointed out that “Morocco’s policy on this point is based on excessive pragmatism … namely the achievement of achievements by relying on the Zionist lobby in the United States and Europe to the detriment of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people”.
For Walid Abdelhay, Morocco will in future be able to renounce the presidency of the Al Quds Committee despite the symbolism of this presidency. He will try to frustrate the Algerian approach to cancel the granting to Israel of observer status at the African Union (AU), independently of the espionage he exercises in the internal affairs of Algeria, something to which Israel attaches great importance. “Israel will use Morocco to get as much information as possible about Iranian activity precisely in West Africa.” Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz is expected to travel to Rabat on November 25 for a two-day visit during which military cooperation agreements are to be signed. He will meet Moroccan Foreign Minister Nacer Bourita and officials from the Moroccan Defense Ministry. This official visit is not the first since the normalization of relations between the two countries. Last August, the Israeli foreign minister visited Morocco where he oversaw the opening of a diplomatic representation office in Rabat after a meeting with his Moroccan counterpart. After the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Sudan, Morocco is the fourth Arab country to have normalized its diplomatic relations with Israel within the framework of the Abraham Accords.
