On Thursday, senate president Salah Goudjil, a top Algerian official, said that the Israeli security minister's visit to Morocco "targets Algeria."

Algerian authorities said that "Israel's" visit to Rabat "targets" Algeria. 

On Thursday, senate president Salah Goudjil, a top Algerian official, said that the Israeli security minister's visit to Morocco "targets Algeria" after a week of back-and-forths over the western Sahara territorial dispute. 

"The enemies are mobilizing more and more to undermine Algeria" which is "targeted" by the visit, said Goudjil.

In August, Algeria cut diplomatic ties with Rabat, citing "hostile" behaviors - a charge which Morocco has denied. 

Algeria's statement comes a day after Benny Gantz - the occupation's security minister - and Morocco's minister in charge of defense administration, Abdellatif Loudiyi, signed a security agreement in Rabat. The deal would allow Morocco to acquire hi-tech exports from "Israel," which is the latest ordeal since the normalization between the two last year. This sparked protests. 

An anonymous Israeli official said that "Israel" has several security deals with allied nations, but Morocco, being an Arab-majority nation, has a deal the first of its kind. 

A "Strategic Alliance"

Today, the Head of the Israeli Security Ministry’s Political-Military Bureau, Zohar Palti, said the security agreement signed by Israeli Security Minister Benny Gantz in Morocco opens the door to "intel sharing and joint drills."

Palti says the agreement will create a "strategic alliance of knowledge between Jerusalem (occupied al-Quds) and Rabat."

A springboard

Yesterday, the Moroccan National Front contended that "Israel" sees Morocco as a gateway to its greedy ambitions.

Abdul Samad Fathi, the deputy coordinator of the Moroccan National Front to Support Palestine and Oppose Normalization, said the Israeli occupation regards Morocco as the gateway to its greedy ambitions in the Maghreb region and the rest of Africa, and it wants it to wage war on its behalf in the area.

Fathi also stressed that military normalization is a risk to the independence of the country and the stability of the region, as it is a stab in the back of the Palestinian people and the Moroccan army that the Zionist army literally burned in the October 1973 war, after its warplanes targeted them with burning arrows, so their bodies arrived at hospitals all charred.
