Casablanca – In a video that has gone viral on Facebook, Moroccan-French intellectual, Jacob Cohen, states that the Israeli Intelligence Service, known as the Mossad, “is actively operating in Morocco.
The host asked Cohen, “Observers say that the Mossad is no longer known to be particularly active in Morocco these days. As an expert in Mossad activities in Morocco, to what extent do you believe that to be true?”
In response, Cohen stated that the Mossad is “very active” in Morocco. He adds that “there is something that is happening at the moment, which is not very known, but it’s starting […] the Mossad is actively operating in Amazigh regions.”
Cohen proceeded to explain how the Israeli Intelligence Service maneuvers in the Amazigh areas. He claims that the Mossad attempts to attract Amazigh individuals by persuading them that they can trace their origins from Jewish families, or that they can continue their studies in Israel. He also noted that the Israeli intelligence services seek to mobilize young Berbers to “create tension between the Amazigh and others.”
“The Mossad goes even further and strives to create a state of tension within Moroccan society.”
As to the reaction of Moroccans, the Moroccan-French intellectual said that either they are not aware of this, or they avoid talking about such topics, adding that he is inclined to the latter explanation.
Cohen believes that it is unlikely that the Mossad will “leave Morocco alone,” for it is an important country that enjoys a “strategic location and huge influence in the region.”
This part of the interview was posted on January 19, a few days after Lehcen Daoudi, Morocco’s Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research and Training warned of what he called “Amazigh extremists” who “exploit Tamazigh issues to create racial extremism” in Morocco.
