Morocco’s Government Approves Military Cooperation Deal with Jordan

The Moroccan government approved on Thursday a bill on a military and technical cooperation agreement between Morocco and Jordan.

The deal, which was struck in Amman in July last year, puts the legal framework for military cooperation between the two countries, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Nasser Bourita told the cabinet.

It guarantees the confidentiality of information shared between the two sides and bans releasing data to third parties, such as governments or institutions and individuals.

The government also approved Thursday a bill on cyber security to draft laws on supporting the digital economy.

A ceasefire has taken effect between Israel and Lebanon-based Hezbollah after nearly 14 months of cross-border fire.
The ceasefire agreement calls for a two-month initial halt in fighting. It would require Hezbollah to end its armed presence in a broad swath of southern Lebanon, while Israeli troops would return to their side of the border.
The conflict began Oct. 8, 2023, a day after Hamas attacked southern Israel, as Hezbollah fired rockets into Israel in solidarity with Hamas and Israel returned fire. Israel launched a more widespread bombardment of Lebanon two months ago, followed by a ground invasion.
Here’s a look at the conflict by the numbers:
The dead
More than 3,800 people in Lebanon have been killed, many of them civilians. More than 80 Israeli soldiers have been killed, and 47 civilians in Israel.
The damage
Damage in Lebanon is estimated at $8.5 billion including at least 100,000 homes. In Israel, around 5,683 acres of land have burned.
The displaced
An estimated 1.2 million people are displaced in Lebanon and over 46,500 in Israel.
The strikes
Israel has made around 14,000 strikes in Lebanon, while Hezbollah has made more than 2,000 in Israel.
