Nasser Bourita, the minister of foreign affairs, reiterated that the Kingdom of Morocco, whose King Mohammed VI serves as chairman of the Jerusalem Committee, strongly condemns a new violation of the Al-Aqsa Mosque’s sanctity by an Israeli government official yesterday, adding that these actions “have become provocatively repetitive.”

Following their talks today, Monday in Rabat, Bourita and his Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba held a joint news conference to make it plain that Morocco demands the immediate halt of all actions that harm the legal and historical character of the holy city.

He emphasized that the two-state solution and the establishment of a Palestinian state within the boundaries of July 1967 with East Jerusalem as its capital are the only ways to finally resolve the Palestinian issue, and that the Kingdom of Morocco, acting on the orders of King Mohammed VI, always believes in and adheres to this option.

The detrimental effects of these provocations, as well as the fact that they “only foster extremism and violence in the region,” prompted him to express his desire that they would be discontinued.

Rabat – The Kingdom of Morocco strongly condemns the incursion of Israeli forces into the Al Aqsa Mosque as well as the aggression against and terror on worshippers in the holy month of Ramadan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates said Wednesday in a statement.

The statement from the Kingdom of Morocco, whose sovereign HM King Mohammed VI serves as chair of the Al Quds Committee, emphasizes the importance of respecting the status of Al Quds and the Holy Places in terms of law, religion, and history, as well as the need to refrain from any actions and infractions that could jeopardize any prospects for regional peace.

The ministry concluded that the Kingdom reiterates its opposition to such actions, which only serve to aggravate the predicament in the occupied Palestinian territories and undercut efforts to defuse tensions and rebuild trust.

The Kingdom of Morocco, whose Sovereign HM King Mohammed VI chairs the Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s Al Quds Committee, has strongly condemned and denounced the Israeli occupation forces’ raid on the Al Aqsa Mosque, the closing of its gates, and the attack on unarmed worshipers in the mosque compound, which resulted in numerous injuries.

“This blatant aggression and systematic provocation against the sanctity of the mosque and its place in the heart of the Islamic Ummah during the holy month of Ramadan will only fuel feelings of hatred and extremism and destroy the chances of reviving the peace process in the region,” the Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccans Abroad said in a statement.

The Kingdom of Morocco has also called on the United Nations and the international community to intervene immediately to stop these crimes and assaults on the defenseless Palestinian people and their fundamental values.

The censure and denunciation were delivered immediately to the head of the Israeli liaison office in Rabat, according to HM King Mohammed VI’s instructions.
