The most dangerous stage of all in building positions is collecting data on the basis of which logic is established and conclusions are established. Personally, when I followed the news of Morocco handing over a citizen of Palestinian origin to the Israeli authorities because he “carried out a bombing,” I was determined, in turn, to unleash a great outburst of anger and denunciation, especially since the step coincided with another decision of the Moroccan judiciary, which stipulated not to hand over an Egyptian citizen to his country’s authorities, which is The opposition, Abdel Basset Al-Imam, due to legal considerations decided by the judiciary.
However, after a long process of examination and verification, in which I listened to the narration of responsible Moroccan sources, I discovered the extent of the damage caused by not checking the information before circulating it, because I did not find a Palestinian in the story, nor did I find a trace of the calamity depicted in the headlines and paragraphs of the circulating news, which puts us in the position of those who hold back. With the Palestinian resistance who is fighting to liberate his land, and handcuffs him and then hands him over to the Israeli machine of slaughter.
There is none of this in the story of Salim Khalibat. The latter, personally and through his relatives and his defense, was the most adamant of those demanding his deportation from Morocco to Israel, and he considers the step a release from conditions of detention he could not bear, and a first step towards regaining his full freedom, relying on this to prove what he says is his innocence before the judiciary. Israeli.
You can, whether as a Moroccan or as a human being, be against any form of coordination and cooperation between Morocco and Israel. Rather, from the standpoint of human nature, you must be keen to impose a comprehensive boycott on the occupation entity in order to contribute to getting it to stop harming the Palestinians, Lebanese and Syrians…
However, while you are seeking to participate in a noble humanitarian act, you should not be led away, complicit, or ignore another injustice that is befalling Morocco these days at the hands of its opponents who are talking about a “store” that throws a Palestinian who called for help from the “Commander of the Faithful” and the “Chairman of the Jerusalem Committee,” among others. The fangs of his Israeli predators.
This is incorrect, or at least inaccurate. If the handover process in itself is a reason for denunciation and denunciation, because it paves the way for greater normalization in Moroccan-Israeli relations, then the person concerned did not publicize at any stage of this case his Palestinian origins nor presented himself as a resistor, nor did the act for which he was being pursued fall within the acts of resistance. Palestinian.
When he was detained in Morocco for a long time and our authorities hesitated greatly to hand him over due to the absence of an agreement on this matter with his country, and to avoid a step inappropriate in the context of the Israeli genocide of Gaza, the detainee himself was sending threats that he might go on a hunger strike and file complaints against Morocco before international bodies…
Should we ignore all of this just because we are looking for an opportunity to pressure and embarrass our country’s authorities regarding its diplomatic relations with Israel?
Let us listen to the story of what happened, perhaps it will suffice us with the trouble of answering:
In November 2021, Salim Khalibat, an Israeli citizen of Palestinian origin, residing with his family in the village of “Basmat Tabbaa,” participated in the operation to detonate a bomb at the entrance of a building housing an Israeli administration in charge of health safety, in the occupied Palestinian city of Al-Nasser.
The bombing caused material damage to the building, by virtue of the timing in which it was carried out, by controlling the explosive device remotely, and this mobilized the Israeli security and intelligence services.
The latter initially suspected the presence of a “terrorist” background in the language of the occupation, that is, the bombing’s connection to the Palestinian resistance. It also raised the possibility of the bombing being linked to threats that health administration officials had received in connection with their decision to include minor children in the vaccine against the Corona epidemic.
After the arrest of two of those involved in the operation and listening to them, it became clear that the matter is far from the previous two possibilities, that is, it is not related to the Palestinian resistance act carried out by a part of the “Israeli Arabs”, nor to the file of Corona vaccines, but rather it is an incident linked to a dispute between parties. Industrial and commercial industries that produce foodstuffs, and health administration officials, with suspicions of extortion and bribery… The perpetrators were only an enforcement tool that provided its services, mostly in exchange for money.
Salim Khalibat managed to escape by traveling to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, then to Türkiye and then to Morocco. After months spent with relatives who Moroccan sources say have commercial projects in Morocco, the Moroccan authorities arrested him in January 2023, according to what is likely to be an international search memorandum that is likely binding on Morocco in accordance with the rules in force in this field.
Here, Morocco will be in a situation similar to a dilemma, because there is no bilateral agreement that allows for the exchange of extradition of wanted persons with Israel, while the latter, according to what is inferred from its usual behavior, seized the opportunity to force Morocco to get involved in an unprecedented coordination step for the occupying state with an Arab country, where She wrote to the Moroccan government demanding that it hand over Khalibat, which Morocco has been delaying in implementing all this time.
An indication of this usual “malice” in the Israeli entity is the language used by the Israeli police in announcing the arrival of Salim Khalibat, coming from Morocco, where the Israeli security establishment has turned into a political entity that celebrates, via a tweet on its official account on the “EX” platform, an operation called “ The first of its kind for the Israel Police.”
Indeed, the defense of the deported detainee himself did not hesitate in his statements to the Israeli press, in welcoming the step while once again directing criticism at the Moroccan authorities who were late, in his view, in responding to Khalibat’s request to be deported to Israel and to be released from the inhumane conditions of detention, in his opinion, there in “Al-Arjat” prison. “Near the city of Salé.
Did you see how we, and the group’s name here is intentional because everything the state does is a collective responsibility, except in the case of states that oppress anyone who disagrees with them, we did not hand over a “Palestinian,” let alone a “resistance,” to the Israeli occupation authorities?
