Morocco has reaffirmed its support for the creation of an independent, sovereign, and viable Palestinian state within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. This stance was expressed at the 63rd session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva. The Moroccan delegation emphasized that this is a prerequisite for establishing durable peace in the region. The statement was made during a general debate under item 7 of the council's agenda.
The Moroccan Mission to the UN in Geneva highlighted the importance of respecting the ceasefire in Gaza and ensuring the unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid to the region. Morocco also called for supporting the Palestinian Authority and accompanying its reforms. The country reiterated its backing for the crucial role of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA). These statements reflect Morocco's ongoing commitment to the Palestinian cause.
Morocco expressed deep concern over developments in Jerusalem and the West Bank. The country cited the adoption of laws that undermine the legal status of Palestinian territories and pave the way for expanded colonization. The systematic violence exerted by settlers against Palestinian citizens was also condemned. Morocco views these measures as leading to forced displacement and compromising the foundations necessary for an independent Palestinian state.
The Moroccan Mission emphasized the efforts of King Mohammed VI, in his capacity as chairman of the Al-Quds Committee. The king has worked to preserve the historical, cultural, and spiritual identity of the holy city and its legal status. He has also sought to improve living conditions for its inhabitants by combining political and diplomatic action with programs implemented by the Bayt Mal Al-Qods Acharif Agency.
