Masad Boulos, senior adviser to former U.S. president Donald Trump, welcomed what he described as a “historic vote” by the United Nations Security Council extending the mandate of MINURSO for one year.
“The United States welcomes today’s historic vote to extend MINURSO’s mandate for one year and looks forward to supporting negotiations to achieve peace in Western Sahara,” Boulos wrote on X. “I echo President Trump’s call for all parties to engage in negotiations without delay to achieve a lasting solution, one of genuine autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty based on Morocco’s credible and realistic Autonomy Proposal.”
Boulos added that he “fully agrees with His Majesty King Mohammed VI on the importance of launching a brotherly dialogue between Morocco and Algeria to resolve this issue and build new relations based on trust,” emphasizing that “under President Trump’s leadership, the United States remains committed to working with all parties to achieve a just and lasting peace.”
The UN resolution, adopted Friday with 11 votes in favor, reaffirmed support for the Moroccan autonomy plan as the most feasible framework for a political settlement and extended MINURSO’s mandate through October 2026.
