The Association of Moroccan Jews in Mexico has welcomed the American proclamation recognizing the full sovereignty of Morocco over its Saharan provinces.

“The Association welcomes the decision of the President of the United States of America to recognize the full sovereignty of the Kingdom of Morocco over its Sahara,” said Moises Amselem Elbaz, President of the Association in a statement.

“We also congratulate the Ambassador of Morocco in Mexico Abdelfattah Lebbar for the great work he is doing for the benefit of the bilateral relationship and we are at his entire disposal,” added the same source.

For the president of the Association of Moroccan Jews in Mexico, Morocco has a thousand-year-old history which is very influenced by the cultural component of Moroccan Jewish citizens, with a unique history of tolerance and coexistence.

“His Majesty King Mohammed VI, commander of the faithful, had given his instructions so that this history is taught in the country’s schools. He is also the protector of the holy sites of Jews in Morocco,” said Elbaz.

“The late HM King Mohammed V, may he rest in peace, wanted to protect the Jews of his country against the persecutions of the Nazis, a gesture which should inspire all humanity in the path of tolerance and solidarity,” he recalled.
