Morocco Considers Israeli-Made COVID-19 Contact Tracing App Amid Controversy

Following the example of several countries, particularly South Korea, which has used similar applications to trace social interactions, Morocco would have included a solution developed in Israel, under the name Hamagen, among the proposed list.

According to the site Al3omk, the press release from the Executive, dated April 9, would not have been to the liking of certain anti-Semitic associations, who called on the government to remove the Israeli product from the panel, specifying that "any normalization with the Zionist enemy is a condemnable crime".

The digital tracking strategy could certainly help curb the coronavirus epidemic, but is also likely to infringe on civil liberties. A threat that continues to generate a lot of ink in France.
