The constant support provided by Morocco, under the leadership of King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Al Quds Committee, in favor of the Palestinian cause combines political-diplomatic action and the field initiatives enjoyed by the Palestinian people, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans residing abroad.
“The approach adopted by Morocco in support of the Palestinian cause and people is based on both adherence to efforts and diplomatic and political initiatives aimed at the establishment of peace in the Middle East and on daily action in the service of Palestinians through field projects targeting families and children in particular,” he said at a press point on the 5th meeting From the two-state solution, organized by the Kingdom in partnership with the Netherlands.
In this regard, it has highlighted the supported actions deployed by the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Acharif agency in order to strengthen the resistance of the Maqdessis thanks to projects covering various aspects of their daily life, in particular in food, medical care and schooling.
This meeting, placed under the theme “maintaining the dynamics of the peace process: learned lessons, successes and perspectives”, intervenes in the wake of the continuous commitment of the Kingdom, under the leadership of the king, in favor of the Palestinian question and peace in the Middle East, said Bourita.
It also illustrates, he added, the constant effort that Morocco has been conducting for decades for a lasting and global solution for this conflict, starting from its conviction that any regulation cannot see the light of day without the establishment of a Palestinian State living side by side with the State of Israel as part of the two-state solution.
The holding of this meeting in Morocco, he said, attests to the confidence that the kingdom enjoyed with the various parties to the conflict and its place as a credible actor with the influential parties, as evidenced by the participation of delegations of more than 50 countries and international and regional organizations committed in favor of the two-state solution.
Mr. Bourita pointed out that this meeting comes at a delicate moment marked by the continuation of Israeli aggressions in the Palestinian territories, “a dangerous, inadmissible situation and contrary to all laws and values”, affirming that peace in the region must be the prospect.
It is held as a prelude to the high -level conference, co -chaired by France and Saudi Arabia, for the implementation of the two -state solution, provided for at the United Nations headquarters in New York in June 2025, continued the Minister, noting that the Rabat meeting will help enrich the work of this conference.
He also emphasized urgency, today more than ever, to protect the recognized international benchmarks, from the resolutions of the General Assembly from the forties to the Madrid meetings and to the Oslo Agreements, with the aim of reaching a settlement of the Palestinian question, affirming that it is a question of contributing to the preservation and consolidation of these standards.
After highlighting the importance of supporting the Palestinian institutions, Mr. Bourita recalled the constant position of the Kingdom of Morocco in support of the Palestinian National Authority under the leadership of President Mahmoud Abbas. In this regard, he underlined that the king has always said that the Palestinian authority remains the sole and legitimate representative of the Palestinian people as well as the most credible partner to reach peace, from which it is necessary to explore the means of supporting it.
The Minister also insisted on the imperative to look into economic aspects as prerequisites for the two -state solution, specifying in this sense that humanitarian aid and economic support can hardly serve as an alternative to the establishment of the Palestinian State.
This meeting, he recalled, comes in realization of the constants of the kingdom vis-à-vis the Palestinian cause and the unequivocal positions of King Mohammed VI who places the Palestinian question to the rank of a national cause.
Mr. Bourita estimated that the holding of this meeting in the delicate situation that the region is going through represents an investment in peace while registering in an optimistic perspective, as well as it consolidates the mobilization of the international community for the application of the two -state solution as a regulation capable of promoting peace and dignity, to devote the legitimate rights of the Palestinians and to guarantee security and stability for the State of Israel.
It is ultimately a question, he concluded, of bringing together the standards relating to the solution to two states in a single document compiling the measures already taken in this context.
The Rabat meeting, intended to arouse the constitution of a platform of projects, initiatives and achievements supporting the prospect of lasting peace in the Middle East, will be sanctioned by concrete political recommendations aimed at supporting diplomatic efforts and strengthening the conditions conducive to the realization of the two-state solution.
Launched on the occasion of the high-level week of the United Nations General Assembly in September 2024, the Global Alliance is positioned as a diplomatic platform dedicated to the effective revival of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. This fifth meeting follows four others organized in Riyadh, Brussels, Oslo and Cairo.
