WEST BANK (Dispatches) – One of the central goals of the Zionist regime’s military chief of staff Aviv Kochavi’s visit this week to Morocco is reportedly to advance arms deals. Morocco has purchased military equipment from the Zionist regime worth $1.2 billion over the past two years, and the regime intends to double this amount, according to a report on Friday in Israel’s Yedioth Ahronoth by military analyst Alex Fishman.
Morocco has maintained secret relations with the regime for decades. Since joining the Abraham Accords, the Persian Gulf states have pumped huge sums of money into Morocco, which is rebuilding its army and buying weapons and military equipment, including Israeli ones, following strained relations with Algeria.
The report pointed out that most systems are involved in arming the new Moroccan army, including drones, cyber systems, electronic warfare systems, air defense, projectiles and various types of missiles.
The occupying regime has sold to Arab countries weapons and military equipment amounting to $3.5 billion since the signing of the so-called Abraham Accords less than two years ago. In this context, the report pointed out that where you sell weapons, you have a foothold because you also sell training, maintenance and software modifications. This develops a certain customer dependence on the vendor.
The occupying regime and the U.S. seek to establish a military alliance with the Abraham Accords countries, Egypt and Jordan. They had hoped that this would be announced during U.S. President Joe Biden’s visit to Saudi Arabia last Saturday, but Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates announced that they would not join such an alliance.
The Central Command of the US Army (Centcom) holds meetings between the leaders of the security services in the countries under the responsibility of Centcom, including countries that do not have official relations with the Zionist regime. The report pointed out that in these meetings, they talk about plans, military needs, joint exercises and scenarios.
The report also added that, in addition to this, meetings were held throughout the year at different levels, including security ministers, army chiefs of staff and lower-level officers. Over the past year, Zionist representatives have participated in approximately 150 such meetings with their counterparts from the Persian Gulf states, Egypt and Jordan. The Zionist regime’s war ministry and its army have effectively replaced Mossad spy agency, which took care of such relations for years when they were still secret.
The Zionist regime’s army’s air, naval and espionage forces formed special departments for foreign relations to communicate and cooperate with armies in Arab countries, coordinate joint exercises and advance the regime’s arms sales.
