Morocco stressed on Monday in Geneva the importance of the Palestinian cause for the Kingdom’s foreign policy and for the international agenda, since there can be no peace in the Middle East unless there is a just and lasting solution to this issue.

In an address before the 53rd session of the UN Human Rights Council, Morocco’s Ambassador, Permanent Representative in Geneva, Omar Zniber, joined the international consensus in favor of a two-state solution: an Israeli state and an independent Palestinian state based on the June 1967 borders, with Eastern Al-Quds as its capital.

Morocco reaffirmed its “support and solidarity with the Palestinian people, particularly in this dangerous and critical phase marked by the repeated attacks on Jenin and the chaos they have caused.”

Morocco thus condemned these attacks, calling on the international community and major powers “to intervene to stop this aggression against the Palestinian people and their territories.”

These attacks against the Palestinian territories do not contribute to creating a climate conducive to dialogue and peace in the region. “This is a dangerous situation that threatens the remaining hope for peace in the Middle East and fosters extremism and violence, which requires urgent intervention to put an end to tensions in the region.
