Morocco called for an immediate, global, and lasting end to the Israeli war on Gaza.
Intervening during the high-level meeting of the 55th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), on February 27 in Geneva, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, Nasser Bourita, noted that “the Gaza Strip is witnessing an unprecedented crisis and a humanitarian catastrophe that the international community can no longer continue to ignore,” underlining the appeal of HM King Mohammed VI, Chairman of Al-Quds Committee, for a “surge in human conscience to end this massacre”.
”Faced with the resurgence of military operations and the deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, the Kingdom of Morocco reaffirms its constant positions and calls, once again and insistently, for an immediate, global, and lasting end to the Israeli war on Gaza,” said Bourita.
The Moroccan official also stressed the need to allow the smooth delivery of humanitarian aid to the population of Gaza, protect Palestinians against forced exile, and establish a political horizon for the settlement of the Palestinian cause, under the two-state solution, with the aim of establishing a Palestinian State within the 1967 borders with East Al Quds as its capital.
It should be noted that Minister Nasser Bourita represents Morocco at the 55th session of the Human Rights Council, held under the Kingdom’s presidency in the person of Morocco’s Permanent Representative in Geneva, Ambassador Omar Zniber.
