HM The King Reiterates Support To All International Initiatives Meant To Settle Palestinian Issue
PERSISMA, Rabat – HM King Mohammed VI reiterated this Wednesday support to all international constructive initiatives seeking to find a fair and lasting settlement to the Palestinian issue.
“I reiterate my support for all constructive international initiatives aimed at achieving a just and lasting peace on the basis of the two-state solution”, said the sovereign in a speech to the nation delivered on the 15th throne day anniversary.
The Sovereign further reiterated “strong condemnation of the brutal Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip”, noting that “as a sign of tangible solidarity with our Palestinian brothers and sisters in their ordeal, we were among the first to provide material aid to the victims of this aggression, putting Moroccan hospitals at the disposal of the wounded to alleviate their suffering in these critical circumstances”.
HM the King also pointed out that “in keeping with our sacred mission to defend Al-Quds al-Sharif, the Al-Quds Committee, which I am honored to chair, adopted a series of sound recommendations during its 20th session which was held in Marrakech.”
These resolutions, went on the Sovereign, are meant to “back the peace negotiations and call for the protection of the cultural and spiritual character of Al-Quds against the illegal Israeli violations”.
Noting that a five-year strategic plan of action for the Bayt Mal al-Quds al-Sharif Agency was adopted with a view to providing support to vital sectors through well thought-out projects in terms of time frame and funding mechanisms, HM the King expressed keenness to “bolster the steadfastness of our Maqdissi brothers and sisters on their land” and “to ensure the Agency keeps up its action on the ground, provides the inhabitants of Al-Quds with direct, tangible support and seeks to meet their pressing needs.”
Regarding the situation in the Arab world which the Sovereign described as “catastrophic” and “a matter of profound sadness and concern”, HM the King warned that this is “a fertile breeding ground for the most violent forces of extremism and terror which seriously threaten the security of our countries as well as global security and stability”.
The Sovereign called in this regard for “a comprehensive Arab order based on economic integration and political unity and cohesion to turn the Arab world into an influential geopolitical force in the international arena – a bloc which is capable of defending crucial Arab causes”.
“The brotherly bonds and mutual understanding between me and the leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council Member States, and Morocco’ special partnership with these sister nations are a source of deep satisfaction”, HM the King stated.
