Algeria could not pass up the chance to attack Morocco and the advancements the Kingdom made possible by its tenacious defense of every square inch of its land. Algeria denounced this decision on Thursday after Morocco’s triumph in the Sahara dispute, which was that Israel acknowledged the Sahara as Moroccan. Algeria viewed this decision as a breach of international law and UN resolutions.
This knockout blow caused Algeria to say that Morocco’s announcement of Israel’s decision can in no way legitimize its sovereignty over the lands of the Sahara and the population living there “under occupation,” reported Israeli channel « I24 ».
Polisario also released its anger over this decision in implying that the Jewish state’s position is invalid and void, added I24.
This is the first time Israel has recognized Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara since the resumption of diplomatic ties between the countries in December 2020. This Israeli recognition was one of the conditions set by Rabat for upgrading the Moroccan representation in Tel Aviv to embassy status.
In answer to this decision, Morocco’s King Mohammed VI affirmed in a letter sent to Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu that the Israeli decision is of paramount importance, as it serves as a forerunner to the opening of a consulate in Dakhla.
The Monarch extended, anew, an invitation to Netanyahu to visit Morocco and explore new channels for cooperation and peace promotion, especially regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
