Morocco Approves Extradition of Palestinian Nassim Kalibat to the Zionist Entity

According to Spanish journalist Ignacio Cembrero, Morocco has, for the first time, approved an extradition request submitted by the Zionist entity, marking a significant and controversial development in bilateral cooperation. The extradited individual, Nassim Kalibat, stands accused of orchestrating a bombing near an annex of the Ministry of Health in Nazareth in April 2022 before fleeing to Morocco shortly thereafter.

As detailed in the indictment, Kalibat allegedly planted an explosive device near the ministry annex and remotely detonated it using a wireless control system. The blast caused extensive damage to the building, heightening security concerns.

Following the incident, Kalibat managed to escape to Morocco, where he remained until his arrest by Moroccan authorities in January 2023. Soon after, the Zionist entity’s international department formally submitted a request for his extradition. Last month, Moroccan authorities officially approved the procedure, and on Tuesday, Kalibat was flown back to the Zionist entity to face charges.

Sources confirmed that Kalibat’s extradition did not occur without controversy. Reports indicate that he endured severe torture during his detention, leading to permanent physical disabilities. This revelation raises serious questions about the legal and humanitarian dimensions surrounding the extradition and its implications for Morocco’s judicial and diplomatic frameworks.

This shameful precedent-setting decision comes against the backdrop of the ongoing atrocities committed against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, where innocent civilians continue to suffer under a brutal occupation. While the Zionist entity escalates its violent actions, Morocco’s decision to turn a blind eye to these humanitarian crimes and prioritize judicial coordination raises serious questions about its stance on Palestinian rights and justice.
