Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita has reaffirmed Morocco's commitment to defending the historical and legitimate rights of the Palestinian people under the leadership of King Mohammed VI. Speaking at the annual coordination meeting of foreign ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in New York, Bourita emphasized that Morocco will continue to work towards a solution that preserves Palestinian rights. He highlighted the importance of a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
Bourita stressed that Morocco, under King Mohammed VI's leadership, will continue to work towards a solution that leads to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. He noted that this approach is essential to preventing hatred and extremism and promoting peace, security, and stability in the region. The minister emphasized that Morocco's commitment to peace is a strategic choice.
The Palestinian issue is currently at a critical juncture, with ongoing Israeli military aggression against Palestinians in Gaza, settlement expansion in the West Bank, and increased settler violence. Bourita also highlighted the threat of Israeli policies aimed at Judaizing Jerusalem. He emphasized that Morocco will continue to adopt a comprehensive approach that combines diplomatic efforts with concrete actions to support the Palestinian people.
Morocco's approach involves combining political efforts with diplomatic initiatives to protect Palestinian rights and tangible actions through projects implemented by the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Al-Sharif Agency, which is the executive arm of the Al-Quds Committee. The agency supports Palestinians in Jerusalem and helps them resist Israeli policies aimed at changing the city's demographic and legal status.
Bourita emphasized that Morocco believes in the importance of multilateral action and has engaged in international initiatives aimed at promoting peace and stability in the region. He noted that Morocco's membership in the Peace Council reflects its commitment to contributing positively to efforts to stop escalation, protect civilians, and create conditions for a genuine and credible political process.
The minister highlighted that the Palestinian issue is a central and fundamental concern for the Islamic nation. He emphasized that Morocco will continue to work with international partners to promote a peaceful resolution to the conflict. Bourita's statement reflects Morocco's ongoing commitment to supporting the Palestinian people and promoting peace in the region.
