[ad_1] Rabat — An Israeli political analyst named Rafael Castro has sparked controversy with a proposal to relocate Gaza’s population in Morocco’s Western Sahara region. The analyst claimed this would offer a “realistic and sustainable solution” to the Israeli-induced genocide and catastrophic humanitarian and security crisis in the Palestinian territory. Castro published his analysis on the Israel National News website, arguing that “the situation in Gaza can no longer continue.” Disregarding Morocco’s sovereignty over the territory and that it’s up to the country to have a say in this, he suggested that relocating Gaza’s residents to the Western Sahara, which…

[ad_1] The Algeria-backed Polisario Front has suffered a fresh diplomatic setback at the recent Southern African Development Community (SADC) summit, where its efforts to gain support for its separatist agenda were quietly rebuffed. The summit’s final communiqué made no mention of the Polisario or its self-proclaimed Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR), signaling a shift in regional sentiment and a growing alignment with Morocco’s position. This omission is seen as a strategic defeat for the Polisario, which has long relied on support from certain southern African states hovering around South Africa’s orbit. In recent years, however, countries such as Zambia, Malawi,…

The project will enhance Morocco’s regional supply…

The party, which is notoriously slanderous and anti-Moroccan, is now attempting to exclude Morocco’s southern provinces in Western Sahara from the EU-Morocco trade agreements. Sources from the PP confirmed the news to Spanish news outlet El Independiente. The sources said the PP request is for Western Sahara to be completely excluded from the trade agreement discussions between the EU and Morocco. This reflects PP’s general stance, distancing the party from Spain’s…
