As the deadly war on Gaza continues, Moroccan trade unions are taking a stand. CDT and UNT have firmly rejected any involvement in unloading or providing logistical support to ships suspected of carrying weapons to Israel through the port of Casablanca. With the arrival of a Danish cargo ship from the United States, suspected of delivering military equipment to the Israeli army, they are calling for widespread mobilization.
2020 was a key year for Morocco's military cooperation with the United States. In addition to arms orders, the two countries have entered into a ten-year military agreement.
Morocco aims to have a local military industry. It thus intends to demand from its weapon suppliers an «industrial compensation». The legal framework to promote this strategic activity has just been finalized and published in the Kingdom’s Official Bulletin.
