The Embassy of the State of Palestine in Morocco and the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Asharif Agency organized a meeting on Saturday at the headquarters of the Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ICESCO) in Rabat to mark the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, celebrated this year on November 25.
The event was attended by members of the Arab diplomatic corps accredited to the Kingdom, political and trade union figures, and representatives of civil society and the worlds of art and culture.
Speaking on this occasion, the Palestinian Ambassador to Morocco, Jamal Choubaki, praised the Kingdom’s firm stance in support of the Palestinian cause, under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee.
He also welcomed the Message sent by the Sovereign to the Chairman of the United Nations Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People on the occasion of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, which, the diplomat noted, “clearly reflects the Palestinian vision and program.”
Choubaki also lauded the efforts made by the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Asharif Agency to help the people of the Gaza Strip and support the resistance of the Holy City and its inhabitants.
He stressed that this year’s celebration of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People comes at a difficult time for the Gaza Strip, calling on the international community to end aggression, open crossings for humanitarian aid, protect civilians, and end occupation.
For his part, Mohamed Salem Cherkaoui, director of the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Asharif Agency, reiterated His Majesty King Mohammed VI’s unwavering support for the Palestinian cause.
In a statement to the press, he noted that this support is illustrated by the aid that the Sovereign grants to the Gaza Strip, as well as by the ongoing support provided by the Agency, on instructions of His Majesty the King, to the inhabitants of the Holy City, noting that these efforts fall in line with the diplomatic role played by Morocco in defending the Palestinian cause at various levels and on various fronts.
On this occasion, the Moroccan “Jadal” and Palestinian “Asayel” folk art troupes gave artistic performances highlighting the authenticity of Palestinian cultural heritage.
The meeting featured a tribute to Choubaki and to the former president of the Moroccan Association for the Support of the Palestinian People, the late Mohamed Benjelloun Al Andaloussi.
