Occidental Sahara: Get out Morocco, Israel and the imperialists!

The political pacts, Moroccan-Israeli commercial and military actions point against Sahrawi self-determination and have regional consequences. Unity is necessary in the struggle of the people against imperialist interests of exploitation and oppression.

The State of Israel and Morocco reopened liaison offices in Tel Aviv and Rabat some time ago with the aim of converting them into embassies. Now they have taken a new step in their relationship. The cabinet of the Royal Palace of Morocco made public a letter that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent to King Mohamed VI. The letter recognizes Morocco's full sovereignty over Western Sahara. further, announces that it views “positively” the opening of an Israeli consulate inTigris, a 550 kilometers awayLaayoune, I mean, in Sahrawi territories.

Under the shadow of American imperialism

The person who gave the guidelines for the recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara was Donald Trump. Current President Joe Biden ratified the policy of his predecessor. And Pedro Sánchez followed them, who abandoned Spain's historic position for Sahrawi self-determination to support the autonomy plan of Mohamed VI. Now it is the State of Israel that moves the board, planning to open a diplomatic representation and appoint a military attaché. The Israeli Foreign Minister affirmed that such decisions “will contribute to regional peace”, but they are real provocations that strain the spirits.  

Mutual recognition, business and weapons

The consolidation of the relationship between Morocco and the State of Israel occurs within the framework of theAbraham Accords, through which Tel Aviv applies a policy of rapprochement with Arab countries, with the guardianship of EE. THE. The Kingdom of Morocco recognized Israel and it recognized Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahrawi territories. Although they also established diplomatic ties, commercial and tourist, What stands out is the military relationship that allows Morocco to strengthen its positions against the Sahrawis and prepare for eventual confrontations with Algeria.. Partnership with the genocidal state provides intelligence coordination, latest generation drones and Pegasus software to spy on anyone.

Regional consequences

Within the framework of Israel's dispute with Iran, Morocco's partnership with Israel alters alliances in the Middle East and allows the firmer installation of Zionism in Africa, particularly the Maghreb. And it is a clear message to the Spanish State, historically privileged in relations with Morocco. A few days before the elections, Mohamed VI lets the next Spanish president know that he has powerful support outside of the relationship with hisold colonialist power.

A historic betrayal

Welcoming Zionism in Africa with open arms, It is a historic betrayal of the Alawite monarchy towards the Palestinian people and the Arabs who give their lives in the fight against the colonialist gendarme of imperialism in the Middle East..

It is also an unforgivable betrayal of the sectors of the Moroccan population that feel united with Palestine.. The pact is sealed at a time in which the genocidal Israeli regime bombs the Palestinians and deploys a reactionary offensive against the political leaders andanti zionist activists, as is the case of Alejandro Bodart.

The unity of people in struggle is necessary

We repudiate the Morocco-Israel agreements, protected under the umbrella of the powerful of the worldOut with the State of Israel and the imperialist powers of Africa!  The Moroccan-imperialist autonomy plan aims to bury Sahrawi rights, the only fair path is the self-determination of Western Sahara. It can only be achieved with mobilization and struggle. Get Israel out of Palestine and the Sahara! Stop the bombing of Palestine! No to the Israeli consulate in Sahrawi territory!

From the International Socialist League we express our support for the struggle of the Sahrawi and Palestinian peoples for their freedom. Victory will be closer if international solidarity is developed and the unity of the African and Arab peoples is achieved with the mobilized workers.. Everything on the way to defeating capitalism and achieving a fundamental solution: let the workers rule and socialism.
