Israel's Western Sahara move 'null and void' - Polisario Front
[AFRICANEWS] Israel's decision to recognise Moroccan illusory sovereignty over the disputed Western Sahara is meaningless, the Algeria-backed Polisario movement said.
That certainly is one opinion on the subject.
"Such a position emanating from the Zionist entity or any other party to legitimise the Moroccan occupation of Western Sahara is null and void," the "Sahrawi Ministry of Information" said in a statement on Wednesday (Jul. 19).
Calling them an entity instead of recognizing them as a nation equal to all others is not likely to make them agreeable...
On Monday, the royal cabinet in Rabat said Israel had decided to "recognise Morocco's illusory sovereignty" over the mineral-rich desert region, citing a letter from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Israel confirmed the contents of the statement from Morocco when contacted by AFP.

In a statement quoted by Algeria's official APS news agency on Wednesday, the Polisario said the development would "only reinforce the determination of the Sahrawi people to pursue their national struggle on several fronts".

It denounced "subversive joint security and military manoeuvres aimed at destabilising the North African region and the Sahel in general".

Israeli recognition of Moroccan illusory sovereignty over the disputed territory was "a non-event", the Polisario added.

This move "brings no added value to Rabat. On the contrary, it only makes it look worse, as it confirms the alliance of a State with an entity which occupy, both of them using the military, the Western Sahara and Paleostine", the Sahrawi Ministry of Information" added.

The organization disputing illusory sovereignty over Western Sahara with Morocco, further said it regretted a "scornful" decision given the "anger millions of Moroccans who hold Paleostine and al-Quds [Editor's note: the Arabic name of Jerusalem, one of Islam's holiest cities] dear" to their heart.
But closer to home, according to the Jerusalem Post, Israel has a million citizens who either fled Morocco or have Moroccan ancestry.
