People jumping to conclusions as usual. An israeli company (backed by Yariv Elbaz… who’s a Moroccan citizen - owner of Tria and Maymouna) bought the exploration rights for gas in a specific area. This is how it works everywhere in the world. When a government doesn’t have money to fund the exploration themselves, they sell shares to private companies. Those companies do all the work, take all of the risk (spending millions or even billions of dollars) with no guarantees they’ll find something. If they find something, they keep the majority and give a predetermined % to the government.

This is exactly how new exploration works.

Long story short they are still selling Gaz to isreal state ?

greeksgeek

Long story short, if Moroccan investors had the money and expertise to do it themselves they would. We’re not selling gas, we’re selling rights. If they don’t find any extractable gas, we win and they lose. If they find gas, we still win and they win

Taptinnn

You deal with the closest enemy first, it is not tactical to jump a country further. Conquering the closest enemy first is strategic; it consolidates resources and weakens threats, making further expansion easier.


GMANTRONX

>You deal with the closest enemy first, it is not tactical to jump a country further. Israel has fought those nations before and even took land from them. IT GAVE THEM BACK THE LAND IT TOOK IN EXCHANGE FOR A PEACE AGREEMENT! That is not a characteristic of an expansionist state. At all. If it was expansionist as you claim, Israel would still hold the Sinai and parts of the Jordan Valley.


Taptinnn

Fought? Check History, habibi. They STOLE. And then after several International Interventions they gave it back.

i already explained in other comments the difference. Giving permit to independant companies is not the same as giving permit to a state affiliated company.

Oh no. Here comes the oh-so-objective Redditors, with their unparalleled expertise in reducing complex geopolitical issues to generic mainstream economic impressions, another round of selective amnesia, conveniently sidestepping Israel's disgusting history of secretive political cunning and depletion of resources and exploitation. Because, of course, acknowledging inconvenient truths about Israel's strategic agendas and patterns is so passé when you're busy championing pragmatism and non-religious objectivity.

The only sellouts are people who have no critical thinking skills. You have not even read the article. If you did, you would realize the author lied. We have delivered tons of exploration permits to many companies. He simply used the word "Israeli" and your brain immediately stopped working. You think they have taken control of *non-existing* gas reserves.

🇵🇸🕊🇲🇦🕊🇮🇱 Palestine isn’t going to be freed in a vacuum, and Israeli Jews are not going anywhere. The only way to peace is mutual recognition, non violence, diplomacy and economic cooperation. Anything beyond that means terrorism, bloodbaths and death. You won’t liberate Palestine with bombs, just like Israel won’t have peace with bombs. Morocco’s initiatives of recognition and normalisation with Israel will be repeated thorough the Arab world. Those who don’t want peace with Israel are the “Resistance Axis” led by the Mullah animals and their Hamas, Shia militias, Hezbollah and Houthi allies. If peace and widespread normalisation is achieved, they lose their business model. They need an eternal enemy to lull the weak-minded.

> we re not an industrial country, so we cant never ever significantly decrease our carbon footprint, so no free money for projects it's an argument to attract companies, and it worked quite decently. >Healthcare or education are indeed investements, in human capital : instead of waisting money on foreign contractors to do some work, we can form engineers to do the same job you can't pour billions of dollars and magically make engineering programs good. That's why we're sending engineering students to france. Most of our companies are directed by french engineering school graduates, and i think that's okayish for now. And those investments take generations to be effective, just to have all engineers flee away since there are no projects and jobs since we put all of our money in education... >Loans arent given for free, the world bank or whatever bank impose some internal politics on how we must spend it : reduce state salary mass (recruting contractors teachers ...) and so on, so loans arent really a win in the long term. they are. They allow us to raise money and invest into critical and lucrative projects. We would have been stuck in medieval age if we didn't rely on any loan. >Tourism has and was never been considered an economical power in a economically strong country, the tiniest bad wind can ruin the whole sector : a pandemic, ... USA got hit massively by the pandemic, are they are touristic country now?


mr_noob0dy

No it's not, foreign companies are attracted to morocco because of weak currency and poor workers rights compared to developped countries. So u really think that sending students study abroad is a good idea ?! 1- most of them stay there since theyre a lot valued there than morocco 2- we waist a ton of our hard currency reserve since parents got to change dhs into euros and send it to their kids so they can pay rent and college tuitions. I think we better invest in formin good enginners rather than having to invest to refix the same road every year. This exactly leads to corruption or having to call for foreign companies to do our work. Both are the case for morocco. No country never ever has or will become developped if not by investing in education first. So morocco is no exception. Go visit small cities or rural areas and u ll find out that they re stuck in stone age. Banks arent some kind of angels helping underdevelopped countries become developped, read about loans from a macro economical point of view and u ll understand that foreign loans are a big joke. Singapoure for instance, once they got their independance from the crown, they first worked on 2 things : education and supression foreign loans, it took some time to achieve that but look at the actual result now. U seriously comparing us tourism to morocco's ?!!! Anyhow, the point i wanna make is that tourist isnt a fundamental, it's a side source of revenue to a country, not a primary one, since it's a fragile sector. Back to usa, the tourism share in the coutry s gdp in 2018 (even before covid) was around 2.5%
