OPEN CRISIS BETWEEN MOROCCO AND AN ISLAMIC PARTY
The royal cabinet of Morocco has today shown its disagreement with the political party "Islamist Justice and Development Party" (PJD) for the criticism launched against Israel for its recent armed intervention in the West Bank, where several Palestinian citizens were fatally attacked.
The PJD, headed by the former Prime Minister, Abdallah Benkiran, refers in particular to an Israeli attack on Nablus, noting that "three Palestinian martyrs died as a result of this attack by Israeli forces."
But Morocco, which diplomatically recognized Israel in December 2020 and maintains extensive military cooperation with the Jewish state, does not want it to be criticized by the Kingdom's political parties.
However, Benkiran maintains that Israel maintains an occupation army in the occupied territories and points out that the vast majority of the Moroccan people condemns the actions of the Tel Aviv government.
The royal cabinet also states that “The Kingdom's international relations cannot be subject to blackmail by anyone and for no consideration, especially in this complex global context. The instrumentalization of the Kingdom's foreign policy in an internal partisan agenda constitutes, therefore, a dangerous and unacceptable precedent”.
The Palestinian National Authority (PNA) supports Benkiran's statements and condemns, at the same time, the Arab countries that recognize Israel when the latter maintains its policy of aggression and does not recognize the creation of an independent Palestinian state.
