“…One of the first scholars to discuss Zionism and emigration to Israel through the Spanish zone was Michael M. Laskier, although his research primarily focuses on developments in Zionism and Jewish emigration to Israel from the French zone, as his main sources came from French and Israeli archives (Laskier 1983(Laskier , 1985(Laskier , 1989(Laskier , 1994. Nonetheless, not much research has been done on Zionism in Morocco in general, or even French Morocco in particular (Cohen 1980;Abitbol 1982;Baïda 2011;Tsur 2012;Bin-Nun 2013, and Laskier's is probably the most comprehensive study to date. Apart from Laskier, one new key scholarly reference on Zionism and migration from the northern zone of Morocco-mainly Tangier-is the work by Aviad Moreno (Moreno 2014(Moreno , 2015(Moreno , 2017(Moreno , 2020Cohen and Moreno 2017).…”

This text looks at the fluid intersection in the emergence and development of Zionism and the later Zionist-promoted emigration of Moroccan Jews to Israel from what was the Spanish Protectorate zone in Morocco and the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla in the north of Sherifian state. This process has received less attention from scholars than similar events in the French zone. However, it has some particularities that merit specific attention. From the early years of contact between North Moroccan Jews and European Zionism, the strong cultural identity of the Sephardim in the region and the mobilization of a Spanish approach informed by philo-Sephardism marked an important difference with regard to the French zone in the reception of Zionism and the organization of emigration to Israel. Paradoxically, in the Spanish protectorate, such process resulted in the disappearance of important historic Sephardic centers like Tetouan, Larache, and Ksar-el-Kebir.
