Algerian columnist Mehdi Ghezzar has come under fire for a recent tirade against Morocco on the French channel RMC's Les Grandes Gueules. In a subsequent broadcast on the Algerian public channel AL24 News, Ghezzar made numerous false claims, particularly regarding the role of royal advisor André Azoulay. Ghezzar accused Azoulay of censoring the Moroccan people and preventing them from speaking out against Israel's war crimes.
