The official Spanish circles expressed great apprehension after talking about the Israeli Defense Administration’s intention to consolidate its cooperation with Morocco in the field of defense military industries, within the framework of downloading the agreement signed between the two countries in December of last year.
Israeli sources talk about the imminent announcement of a bilateral agreement between Morocco and Israel regarding the establishment of military weapons factories inside Moroccan soil, which means “a significant strengthening of Rabat’s strategic position in the North African region.”
Spanish circles talk about “the neighboring country has become an essential element in maintaining the balance of power in the region, especially in the fight against jihadists; By working to curb the attempts of terrorist gangs to direct their attacks against the West.”
Spanish media reported that the United States of America chose Morocco as a preferred and strategic partner, and the agreements with Tel Aviv are not immune from this circumstance. Even the unilateral severing of diplomatic relations by Algeria gives it a greater role in the international arena.
Nasser Bourita, Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, announced that Israeli defense and finance officials would pay an official visit to Rabat. During the visit, according to Hebrew sources, the establishment of a group of military factories in Morocco will be signed, within the framework of strategic cooperation between the two countries.
The Spanish newspaper, La Razon, also reported, a few days ago, that Morocco, in cooperation with Israel, began developing a “suicide drones” program, pointing out that these “devices are relatively simple to build, and they have serious consequences.” No further details were provided about the characteristics and cost of this program; But the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) group is known to be involved in the process.
In April of this year, Dah al-Bandir, commander of the National Guard of the separatist Polisario Front, was killed in a military operation using an Israeli-made drone; It is unofficial data, in light of Rabat’s lack of confirmation of the validity of this information.
