"A cynical deal between Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Moroccan occupation of Western Sahara"
The agreement between Israel and Morocco announced today by President Trump at the very last moment of his term, is a
cynical and despicable deal worthy of all condemnation. It is an alliance between Israeli oppression on the West Bank
and Moroccan oppression in the Western Sahara, a criminal handshake between two oppressors.
Already for many years, the Moroccan government has been imitating the Israeli occupation policies, oppressing the
inhabitants of Western Sahara and flooding their country with settlers. The State of Israel is now becoming an official
and public partner to the oppression of the inhabitants of Western Sahara, people who have never harmed Israel or
threatened it in any way.
This agreement has nothing to do with peace. We are an Israeli peace movement striving for peace based on ending Israeli
occupation and oppression and giving Palestinians the opportunity to establish their independent state alongside the
State of Israel. We are opposed to all occupation and oppression, anywhere on Earth. As an Israeli peace movement, we
strongly oppose this "peace" with Morocco.
It is very that the "matchmaker" announcing this dark deal is Donald Trump, a President who refuses to recognize the
democratic decision of the citizens of the United States and who on this very day trying in effect to carry out a coup
and asks the US Supreme Court to help him retain power against the voters' decision at the polls. .
We call on the Knesset Members to reject with disgust the abominable agreement with Morocco and to vote against it when
it comes to a vote in the Knesset plenum.
