Morocco’s foreign ministry has called up the Head of the Israeli Liaison Office in Rabat, in order to inform it of “Morocco’s condemnation of the recent Israeli attacks on the Al-Aqsa Mosque during Ramadan.”
The decision follows Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs Nasser Bourita’s meeting, on Thursday, with several Arab ministers in Jordan’s capital Ammann, during the emergency meeting of the Arab Ministerial Committee in charge of international action against illegal Israeli policies and measures, Al-Quds.
The meeting discussed the ongoing conflict and called for international action to end violence and attacks against Palestinians.
“Today’s meeting comes under difficult circumstances, through which the Palestinian cause and Al-Quds are going through, due to the serious attacks the Al-Aqsa Mosque is witnessing,” reads a press release from the committee.
“King Mohammed VI asked Morocco’s condemnation to be relayed directly to the head of the Israeli liaison office in Rabat, to put an end to these violations and assaults against the Palestinian people and its sacred values,” Bourita said.
Morocco’s Minister of Foreign Affairs noted that “Israeli attacks constitute a clear provocation to all Arabs and Muslims and a factor in provoking extremist tendencies that push towards more tension and violence in the entire region.”
Bourita expressed his deep regret that “the UN Security Council was unable to pass a resolution to stop Israeli attacks,” and further stressed “there is an urgent need to support Palestine and its population,” reiterating the full solidarity of Morocco with Palestinians’ legitimate rights.
Representatives and ministers from Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Algeria also participated in the meeting.
Morocco, the chair of the Al Quds Committee of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, has repeatedly voiced its strong condemnation and denunciation of the raid conducted by the Israeli occupation forces on the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
More than 150 people were injured in clashes between Palestinian demonstrators and Israeli police in the Al Aqsa Mosque.
