Palestine PM Renews Appreciation for Morocco's Unwavering Support for Palestine
Rabat – Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Mustafa commended today Morocco's unwavering support for the Palestinian cause and people. 'On behalf of President Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian people, I would like to reiterate my gratitude to his majesty King Mohammed VI for his sustained efforts in support of the Palestinian people, Mustafa said. He made his remarks today in Seville following his talks with Head of Government Aziz Akhannouch on the sidelines of the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development, which is running from June 30 to July 3 in Seville. The Palestinian official said his meeting with the Moroccan counterpart served as an opportunity to convey a message of esteem and appreciation to the Moroccan government and people for Morocco's tireless efforts in support of the Palestinian cause amid the genocidal war that the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) have been waging since October 2023. The Palestinian prime minister also emphasized the importance of ending the suffering of the people of Gaza to begin the planning construction, elevating the urgent need to revive the political process based on the two-state solution that seeks to establish a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital. Morocco has been renewing its support for the Palestinian cause for years, condemning the IOF's ongoing genocidal war. In May, King Mohammed VI delivered a strong speech, read by Minister of Foreign Affairs Nasser Bourita, Arab League Summit, in which he also renewed Morocco's unwavering support for the establishment of a Palestinian State with East Jerusalem as its capital. In his speech, the King condemned the IOF's continued aggression, calling for an immediate ceasefire through the revival of a dialogue to end the situation. He also called for an urgent intervention to put an end to the 'Israeli military aggressions against the West Bank, particularly the demolition of homes and the forced displacement of peaceful, unarmed populations living in areas under Israeli security control.' Meanwhile, the Moroccan people have also been rallying in support of Palestine's cause with protests across the country condemning Israeli war crimes, US compliance and full support, and global inaction to alleviate the constant suffering of the Palestinian people.
