Has the Justice and Development Party Held the Foreign Ministry Before
The Justice and Development Party's stance against normalization with Israel faces a new test ahead of the upcoming legislative elections scheduled for September 23. This is especially significant given Morocco and Israel's decision to elevate their diplomatic relations to the level of embassies and exchange ambassadors. The party's First Deputy Secretary-General, Idriss Azami Al-Adari, affirmed that the party will continue to refuse to host Israeli officials if it enters the government, and has called for a complete severance of relations. He also stated that signing the normalization agreement was a mistake made by the previous Prime Minister. He emphasized that if he were a minister in the upcoming government, he would not host Israeli officials. Nevertheless, Morocco's foreign policy remains aligned with the king’s directives, as the constitution explicitly grants the final authority over ambassador appointments and treaties to the monarch. The party indicated that it might implement its positions on the ground if it comes to power, but its stance is cautious due to diplomatic considerations and its reliance on national institutions. An official position regarding how to deal with the Israeli ambassador or how to execute its stance if it wins and forms the government has not yet been announced.
