Morocco’s Attorney General and President of the Public Ministry, el-Hassan al-Daki, has met with the Saudi Attorney General, Sheikh Saud bin Abdullah al-Mujib, and his accompanying delegation and signed a memorandum of cooperation (MoC) between their respective Public Prosecutions.

The agreement aimed to promote investigations of money laundering and transnational organized crimes and visits in addition to holding several conferences and seminars.

It also included cooperation in scientific publishing, research, and studies, exchanging expertise, training, and information technology.

Daki received Mujib at the Public Prosecution Office in Rabat and discussed with him common concerns. The talks aimed at supporting ways of cooperation between the two countries, in both the judicial and technical aspects, in combating organized crime and all new forms of crime, especially money laundering.

The meeting was an opportunity to highlight the development of the judicial system in Morocco and the outstanding Moroccan experience in the independence of the judiciary and Public Prosecution.

The Saudi Ambassador to Rabat, Abdullah bin Saad al-Ghurairy, the Saudi delegation, and judicial officials headed by the Public Prosecution Office in Morocco attended the signing ceremony.

The Saudi Attorney General is visiting Morocco until Feb. 16.

Qatar on Monday announced plans to supply post-ceasefire Gaza with resources via a “land bridge” at Kerem Shalom, on the border between Egypt, Israel and the coastal Palestinian enclave.

After sending 25 fuel trucks to Gaza on Monday, Qatar plans to supply Gaza with 3.3 million gallons (12.5 million liters) of fuel over the next 10 days, its Foreign Ministry said. The fuel is intended to provide basic services and power hospitals and shelters.

Over the course of the 16-month war, the majority of aid has crossed into Gaza via the Kerem Shalom crossing, although it has intermittently closed amid disagreements over what kind of aid can be allowed into the strip. Israel previously restricted entry of some equipment, arguing it could be used for military purposes by Hamas.

Allowing more aid into Gaza is a central tenet of the ceasefire deal’s first phase and will be key to later reconstruction efforts. The deal allows for hundreds of trucks — more than Israel has previously allowed — to deliver aid to Gaza.

Egypt’s state-run press center said Monday that at least 300 aid trucks entered Kerem Shalom and the Nitzana crossing to the south since the ceasefire took effect, as well as 12 diesel trucks and four gas trucks.

However, some of those trucks have carried food aid labeled for UNRWA, the UN agency that Israel has vowed to ban from operating even as it remains the primary distributor of aid in Gaza.

Truck drivers told The Associated Press that throughout the war, vehicles have been turned back for minor bureaucratic infractions or not having aid properly packaged or wrapped.

“If items are approved, we unload them and head back to Egypt ... Some trucks have to drive all the way back with packages they left with that contain expired food aid or that the driver’s or truck information is not listed correctly,” driver Hamdy Emad said.
