The ministerial meeting on supporting Al-Quds and its holy sites, held on Wednesday in Amman in the presence of ministers from several Arab and Islamic countries, emphasized the importance of the role played by Al-Quds Committee, chaired by King Mohammed VI, and Bayt Mal Al-Quds Asharif Agency, the executive arm of Al-Quds Committee.
The communiqué issued at the close of this ministerial meeting highlighted “the importance of the role of Al-Quds Committee and Bayt Mal Al-Quds Asharif Agency, the executive arm of the Al-Quds Committee,” while reaffirming “support for the efforts undertaken by the said Committee” to protect the Holy City and preserve its Arab, Islamic, and Christian identity.
The meeting was attended by member states of the Arab Ministerial Committee tasked with international action to counter illegal Israeli policies and measures in the city of Al-Qods. The meeting includes Morocco, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Palestine, Qatar, Tunisia, Iraq, Somalia, and Algeria—along with the Secretary-General of the Arab League. Islamic countries Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, and Malaysia are also member of the committee.
In her address, the Palestinian Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Varsen Aghabekian, praised the efforts of the Committee and Morocco in supporting the Holy City and the resilience of the residents of Jerusalem, calling for strengthened efforts to counter Israeli measures in Al-Quds.
During the meeting, the participating ministers underscored the importance of working toward the sustainability of joint action and adopting a unified position to confront illegal Israeli policies that constitute a violation of international law and undermine the foundations of peace.
They insisted on the imperative of preserving the historical and legal status of Al-Quds and the Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, and of rejecting all practices likely to compromise this status.
Morocco was represented at this ministerial meeting by a delegation led by Minister of Justice Abdelatif Ouahbi.
