Morocco reiterates adamant support for Palestinian cause

Morocco’s King Mohammed VI has stated that the North African country will keep up adamant support for the Palestinian cause until the day the Palestinian people regain all their rights and establish a totally independent state with East Jerusalem al-Quds as its capital.
“We stand by the Palestinian people and continue to support
their legitimate rights in order to establish an independent Palestinian state,
with East Jerusalem al-Quds as its capital,” he announced in a message
addressed to Chairman of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable
Rights of the Palestinian People, Cheikh Niang.
He made the remarks on the occasion of the International Day
of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, which is marked on November 29 yearly.
The monarch also stressed that Palestine is the central
issue in the Middle East and will no doubt remain on top of Morocco’s
priorities.
“Regardless of the profound changes and developments that
have taken place in the Middle East in recent years, I am convinced that the
Palestinian question is the key to a permanent and comprehensive solution in
the Middle East region,” the king remarked.
He stated that a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict should be based on enabling all the people of this region to live peacefully
and security in accordance with the tenets of the so-called two-state solution.
“It is necessary to break the current impasse as far as the
peace process is concerned,” King Mohammed VI noted, asking for the revival of
talks between Palestinians and the Israeli regime to solve all contentious problems.
The Moroccan king subsequently denounced the Tel Aviv regime’s
settlement expansion activities, emphasizing the need “to refrain from any
change that might affect the legal status of the occupied Palestinian
territories, and to create right conditions for the resumption of meaningful
and responsible negotiations.”
