Morocco condemns Israeli aggression on Gaza

Morocco, whose King chairs the Al Quds Committee, condemned in the strongest words the resumption of the Israeli aggression on civilians in Gaza and urged a ceasefire, foreign minister Nasser Bourita said, describing the situation as “serious.”

“Morocco strongly and unequivocally condemns the breach of the ceasefire and the resumption of aggression against civilians in Gaza,” Bourita said following a meeting of the African Union Peace and Security Council (AU-PSC), held via videoconference.

The minister emphasized that these aggressions, which have claimed hundreds of victims in recent days, are “unacceptable, condemnable, and hinder the consolidation of peace in the region.”

He reiterated the call of King Mohammed VI regarding a lasting ceasefire to pave the way for the next steps.

He also denounced the policy of starvation and the disruption of humanitarian aid, which exacerbated the harsh conditions in Gaza.

The Minister also emphasized that the Sovereign insists on the need to establish a lasting path to peace in the region through a two-state solution, ensuring the creation of a Palestinian state along the June 1967 borders, with East Al-Quds as its capital.

Noting that the past eighteen months have seen a devastating toll on innocent civilians, including children and women, along with widespread destruction and starvation in Gaza, Bourita stressed that the ceasefire agreement had offered a glimmer of hope—one that was shattered when the Israeli government reneged on its commitments through its latest attacks.
