Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs Nasser Bourita expressed Morocco’s rejection of Israel’s targeting of the city of Rafah and warned of catastrophic humanitarian consequences.

Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates Nasser Bourita received a phone call from Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization, Hussein al-Sheikh, where they discussed the latest developments in the region, in light of the ongoing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.

The Moroccan Foreign Ministry said that Minister Bourita reiterated the firm position of King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Jerusalem Committee, on the need for an immediate, comprehensive and sustainable cessation of the Israeli war on Gaza, enabling the Palestinian population in the Strip to have adequate, safe and unhindered access to urgent relief aid, and creating a political horizon for the Palestinian issue, enabling the implementation of the two-state solution.

The Minister explained that the Kingdom of Morocco is following with great concern the statements made by some Israeli officials about plans to continue the attacks on Gaza, with the will to target and storm the city of Rafah, and the catastrophic humanitarian consequences this could lead to.

The minister emphasized the Kingdom of Morocco’s categorical rejection of the attempt to forcibly displace Palestinians and the need to provide them with protection under international law and international humanitarian law.
