Arab and Western countries, including Morocco, failed to issue a joint statement on the ongoing crisis in Gaza due to a lack of consensus over the term “aggression,” learned Hespress.
According to an informed Parliamentary Hespress source, Moroccan FM Nasser Bourita was speaking before members of the Foreign Affairs, National Defense, Islamic Affairs and Moroccans Residing Abroad Committee, and revealed this matter in his interaction with the representatives’ interventions on the ongoing war in Gaza.
On the Arab side, Morocco, Jordan and Saudi Arabia were close to issuing a joint statement on the current events in the Palestinian territories and the Israeli aggression against those trapped in the stricken Gaza Strip, alongside Western countries, namely Germany, France, and England.
The Arab cluster’s insistence on including the word “aggression” in the statement was met with the Western countries’ refusal to concede on the joint statement.
Regarding Morocco’s position on the dire situation in the strip, which has entered its second month, Bourita renewed his expression of Morocco’s condemnation of the Israeli aggression against Gaza before the committee, affirming the Kingdom’s position of rejecting the displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, and condemning the targeting of civilians.
Bourita once again reminded of the importance of working to reduce the escalation and allowing the entry of aid to the strip.
The Minister of Foreign Affairsstressed, according to the same sources, that the Kingdom supports the Palestinian Authority and adheres to the two-state solution within the framework of the Arab Initiative, which stipulates the establishment of a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
