Debunking the Rumors of Morocco Receiving Gaza Residents: The Israeli Consul Denies and Exposes the Falsehood of the Claims

ALDAR / Analysis

Recently, many critics of Morocco, most of whom are from the other side of the world, circulated a video claiming that the Kingdom might be the proposed destination for receiving the residents of Gaza as part of U.S. President Trump’s plan to resettle the population of Gaza.

The promoters of this rumor relied on statements attributed to Israel Bachar, the Israeli Consul General for the South Pacific region, in the video, attempting to lend some credibility to these claims.

The video spread widely on social media by adversaries of the Kingdom, with some trying to use it as proof of Morocco’s supposed intention to host citizens from Gaza as part of a potential resettlement plan. However, these rumors were quickly countered by an official correction from the Israeli consul himself.

In a post on the “X” platform (formerly Twitter), the Israeli consul clarified the statements attributed to him, confirming that the circulating comments had been completely misinterpreted. He pointed out that he had not made any remarks indicating Morocco’s intention to host Gaza residents, describing the rumors as entirely false. He added that the video being circulated was based on a misinterpretation of his comments.

    This clarification cleared up any ambiguity regarding this propaganda, revealing it as nothing more than a baseless rumor, thus stripping it of any credibility.

Through this official explanation, the rumor was stripped of all legitimacy, and Morocco’s consistent stance on refugee issues was reiterated, emphasizing the Kingdom’s commitment to respecting international laws and humanitarian principles.

Morocco, under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, is well-known for its humanitarian support to its brothers in Gaza. The Kingdom was one of the first countries to provide emergency aid to the people affected by the conflict in the Gaza Strip. This has been confirmed by many international officials who praised Morocco’s ongoing humanitarian efforts.

It is crucial to emphasize that this propaganda campaign is nothing more than an attempt to tarnish Morocco’s image, while the truth is clear in the statements of the Israeli consul and the Kingdom’s steadfast policy in supporting peace and stability in the region.
