Cairo – The Kingdom of Morocco, under the leadership of HM King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, will spare no effort to defend the just Palestinian cause, Morocco’s ambassador to Egypt and permanent representative to the League of Arab States, Mohamed Ait Ouali, said Monday in Cairo.
Morocco, under the leadership of HM King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, will spare no effort to defend the just Palestinian cause in all international forums, by mobilizing its resources and relations to relaunch the peace process, with a view to the establishment of an independent Palestinian State on the 1967 borders, with East Al-Quds as its capital, and capable of interacting with its international environment in full sovereignty, said the Moroccan diplomat, who was chairing an extraordinary meeting of the Council of the Arab League at the level of permanent delegates, devoted to examining developments in the situation in Palestine.
Morocco has always been and will stand by the Palestinian
people and their government led by President Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen, he said. The Kingdom, which has adopted the values of peace as a strategic choice, never ceases to advocate for a political horizon based on the two-state solution, as agreed internationally, as a realistic option capable of ensuring the security of the peoples of the region and protecting them from the cycle of violence and war.
Ait Ouali emphasized that resolving the Palestinian question is the key to peace, stability, and prosperity in the region. Resolving this issue in accordance with the resolutions of international legitimacy and the Security Council, based on the two-state solution, is the path to establishing a just and comprehensive peace. It ensures security and a decent life for all the peoples of the region.
The meeting, held at Palestine’s request, focused on examining the political, legal, and diplomatic measures to be undertaken or supported within the framework of the League of Arab States.

RAMALLAH: Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh today discussed during a meeting with the new United Nations Humanitarian and Reconstruction Coordinator for Gaza, Sigrid Kaag, the need to enhance aid access to the Gaza Strip.
During a meeting in Ramallah, Shtayyeh called on the United Nations to put pressure on Israel to open all crossings to deliver adequate relief aid, stressing that the quality of aid is more important than the number of trucks, affirming the need to not only limit aid entry through the Rafah crossing with Egypt.
He also called for enabling the National Authority to transfer aid and medicine directly from the West Bank to Gaza, affirming the necessity of immediate action to restore electricity and water to Gaza.
Shtayyeh praised efforts made by the United Nations teams to document the crimes of the occupation and the boldness of the Secretary-General in criticizing these crimes, calling for intensifying international intervention to stop the aggression and the war crimes committed by Israel
against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including the killings, detentions, destruction, starvation and forced displacement.
The Prime Minister stressed that alongside the genocide that Israel is committing against the Palestinian people, it is practicing actions beyond reoccupying the West Bank; through the comprehensive destruction of refugee camps and all areas during daily incursions, the killing of hundreds of young men, establishment of colonial outposts, seizure of lands, demolition of facilities and the intensification of military checkpoints.
He slammed these Israeli measures as part of the overarching aim of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which is to destroy the possibility of establishing a Palestinian state.
Regarding post-war plans for Gaza, he stressed that they must include all Palestinian territories in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including Jerusalem. ‘The plans must have a political horizon and practical steps to implement the two-state solutio
n on the ground, recognize the State of Palestine and embody its establishment on the 1967 borders.’
The next day after the war will carry many challenges, most notably dealing with the catastrophic humanitarian situation and massive destruction, which require an international effort and a political framework to complete the reconstruction process and ensure that the aggression will not be repeated, Shtayyeh affirmed.
