The United Nations Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People and Bayt Mal Al-Quds Asharif Agency have voiced their shared commitment to bolster their cooperation to support the Palestinian cause amidst the ongoing regional challenges.

This came during a meeting in Jeddah on Monday between Mohamed Salem Cherkaoui, director of the Rabat-based agency and Cheikh Niang, President of the UN Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People.

The discussions underscored a shared commitment to advancing the Palestinian cause amidst ongoing regional challenges. Both parties agreed on the importance of sustained cooperation and dialogue to address pressing issues affecting Al-Quds and its inhabitants.

During the meeting, Cheikh Niang commended the efforts of King Mohammed VI, who heads the Al-Quds Committee, for promoting values of peace and coexistence in the region, particularly in Al-Quds Asharif. Niang also acknowledged the King’s role in safeguarding the legal status of the Holy City and expressed the UN Committee’s desire to bolster cooperation with Bayt Mal Al-Qods Acharif, an offshoot of the Al-Qods Committee.

Mohamed Salem Cherkaoui, for his part, praised the UN Committee’s commendable initiatives aimed at raising global awareness about the significance of protecting Al-Qods and preserving its legal standing. He emphasized the necessity to strategize joint actions towards achieving shared objectives.

The encounter took place on the sidelines of a conference hosted by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Jeddah, titled “Al-Quds and the War on Gaza: Palestinian Identity and Existence under the Threat of Obliteration.”
