French Ambassador to Morocco hails King’s humanitarian initiative to help Palestinian populations as a historic milestone

French ambassador to Morocco, Christophe Lecourtier, has stressed the importance of the initiative of King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Al Quds Committee, to deploy overland humanitarian aid for the Palestinians in Gaza, hailing the move as a historic milestone.

The King’s decision “will mark history,” the diplomat said in an exclusive statement to Medi 1 TV channel.

“I wanted to tell you how much everyone in France really welcomed the initiative Morocco has just taken to provide aid to the people of Gaza by land,” said Lecourtier.

He stressed the importance of the personal decision taken by King Mohammed VI, “whose role and influence as Chairman of the Al Quds Committee are long-known among the Palestinian populations.”

The Kingdom of Morocco, faced with this emergency situation (in Gaza), acted “swiftly and decisively,” said the French diplomat.

The humanitarian operation launched by King Mohammed VI, and conveyed via a land route, to alleviate the sufferings of Palestinians in Gaza and Al Quds, reeling under inhuman Israeli siege, was hailed as unprecedented worldwide by influential law-makers, experts and officials from Palestine, Europe, Africa, the Arab world, Latin America, and the United States.
