Moroccan MP urges protection for journalist Mohamed El Bakkali detained by Israeli authorities
Last night, Fatima Tamni, a member of the Federation of the Democratic Left (FDG), issued a written appeal to Foreign Affairs Minister Nasser Bourita, urging him to take action to «protect Moroccan citizen Mohamed El-Bakkali, who is currently detained by Israeli occupation forces».
The parliamentarian highlighted the interception of the ship «Handala» by Israeli forces in international Mediterranean waters, describing it as a «dangerous and unprecedented incident».
Yesterday evening, a Moroccan journalist working for Al Jazeera sounded the alarm about an impending Israeli assault on the humanitarian vessel «Handala».
Back in June, the Israeli military had already intercepted a humanitarian ship destined for Gaza in international waters, which included French MEP Rima Hassan among its passengers.
Yesterday, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) called for the protection of Mohamed El Bakkali and American cameraman Waad Mohamed Salim Al Taii, both onboard the «Handala».
