In a recent interview, a retired Israeli general claimed that King Hassan II of Morocco played a crucial role in Israel's victory during the 1967 Six-Day War by providing intelligence. The general, whose name has not been independently verified, stated that Moroccan intelligence shared information about Arab military plans with Israel prior to the conflict.
The Six-Day War, fought from June 5 to June 10, 1967, saw Israel capture the Sinai Peninsula, Gaza Strip, West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Golan Heights. Historical records indicate that Morocco, under King Hassan II, maintained covert diplomatic and intelligence ties with Israel during that period, despite not having formal relations.
This account aligns with known historical reports of Moroccan-Israeli cooperation, though specific details of intelligence sharing remain unconfirmed by official sources. The general's remarks have reignited discussions about the extent of Arab state involvement in supporting Israel during the war.
