As the Gaza ceasefire agreement approaches its implementation, the Kingdom of Morocco, under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, has expressed strong support for the initiative. King Mohammed VI, who chairs the Al-Quds Committee, emphasized the importance of this development in halting the devastating hostilities that have plagued civilians since October 7, 2023.
In a press release from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccan Expatriates, Morocco called on both Palestinian and Israeli parties to embrace peace with sincerity and constructive commitment. The Kingdom urged both sides to move beyond short-term calculations and focus on long-term stability and coexistence.
The Moroccan government expressed hope that the ceasefire agreement would be fully respected, bringing an end to attacks on civilians, facilitating the return of displaced persons, and ensuring the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid. The release emphasized the importance of providing sufficient resources to meet the urgent needs of affected populations.
His Majesty King Mohammed VI has consistently advocated for comprehensive and lasting peace in the region. In a message to the most recent Arab Summit, the King highlighted the risks of addressing one crisis only to ignite another, stressing the necessity of sustainable solutions.
Morocco envisions the ceasefire as a potential turning point that could pave the way for a genuine peace process. The Kingdom reaffirmed its commitment to a two-state solution, calling for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, coexisting peacefully alongside Israel.
The ongoing humanitarian crisis and widespread displacement underscore the urgency of this resolution. Morocco’s proactive stance and the King’s leadership as Chair of the Al-Quds Committee reflect the nation’s dedication to fostering dialogue and stability in the Middle East.
As the world watches the ceasefire unfold, Morocco’s appeal for constructive engagement and adherence to peace principles serves as a beacon of hope for a conflict-ridden region yearning for stability and coexistence.
