Morocco commemorates International Day of Solidarity with Palestinian People
The National Library of the Kingdom of Morocco hosted, on Friday in Rabat, a meeting to commemorate the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, attended by diplomats, political stakeholders, and civil society representatives.
Speaking at the event, Palestine’s Ambassador to Morocco, Jamal Choubaki, said that this International Day is an opportunity to recall the Palestinian people’s inalienable rights, and the difficult circumstances currently facing the Palestinian cause.
Choubaki commended the role of Morocco, under the leadership of King Mohammed VI, Chairman of The Al-Quds Committee, in support of the Palestinian cause, in order to end the occupation and establish an independent Palestinian State, with Al-Quds East as its capital.
He also praised the efforts of Bayt Mal Al-Quds Asharif Agency to support the Holy City’s inhabitants and the Palestinian people as a whole, through projects in housing, employment and the preservation of Al-Quds’ heritage.
He also lauded the content of the Royal Message to the Chairman of the United Nations Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, Cheikh Niang, in which the Sovereign reiterated Morocco’s firm positions on the Palestinian cause.
Several politicians took the floor to recall Morocco’s constant positions, towards the Palestinian cause, and stressed the importance of enabling the Palestinian people to fully enjoy their rights.
In another development, Palestinian President’s Special Envoy Riyad Al-Maliki who is in Morocco to take part in the MEDays Forum, held in Tangier, praised in a statement to the media King Mohammed VI’s continued support for the Palestinian cause. He highlighted that the Sovereign, as Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, is deeply committed to supporting the resilience of the inhabitants of the holy city, particularly through the initiatives of Bayt Mal Al-Quds Asharif Agency.
Al-Maliki commended Moroccan solidarity with the Palestinian cause, noting that this solidarity “is a source of strength and pride for the Palestinians.”
