The Administrative Court in Rabat rejected an urgent request filed by several lawyers to prevent Israeli Minister of Transportation Miri Regev from entering Morocco, the court ruled on Tuesday, February 18.
Lawyer Khalid Soufiani told Yabiladi, «We trust the judiciary, but we disagree with its ruling», adding, «We took two legal actions : one was an urgent request to stop the Israeli Minister from entering Morocco, which the Administrative Court in Rabat rejected».
He added that the legal complaint remains under review by the Court of Appeal in Rabat, where lawyers have called for Regev’s arrest and trial on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The complaint urges the public prosecutor at the Court of Appeal in Rabat to order her arrest, detention, and prosecution for «incitement to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity», including premeditated murder, participation in genocide, and involvement in the killing and harming of children, the elderly, and the incapacitated. It also accuses her of contributing to the mass starvation and displacement of Palestinian civilians and engaging in acts of terrorism.
Regev is in Morocco to attend the Fourth Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety, taking place in Marrakech from February 18 to 20, 2025.
