Trump Acknowledges Morocco's Role in Gaza Reconstruction
During his address at the 81st United Nations General Assembly on September 22, 2026, in New York, former President Donald Trump paid tribute to Morocco for its significant engagement in the reconstruction efforts in Gaza. He highlighted Morocco alongside other nations that have demonstrated commitment through financial and logistical support under the auspices of the "Board of Peace", a council chaired by Trump himself and comprising nearly thirty nations. In his speech, Trump specifically thanked Morocco, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Uzbekistan for their substantial financial contributions, amounting to billions of dollars, emphasizing that "this money is going exactly where it is needed" to facilitate the rebuilding process.
Moreover, Trump commended those countries, including Morocco, that are contributing military contingents to stabilize Gaza. He noted Morocco's participation alongside Indonesia, Albania, Kosovo, Kazakhstan, Egypt, and Jordan in this crucial initiative. On July 15, 2026, Morocco formally signed an operational agreement in Rabat to join the International Stabilization Force, which includes contributions of officers to the joint command, personnel from the Royal Gendarmerie and police, as well as a field military hospital. This recognition reflects the strengthening relationship between Washington and Rabat, further solidified by the U.S. acknowledgment of Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara and the Abraham Accords. Throughout this engagement, Morocco has consistently maintained its humanitarian commitment to the Palestinian people and has supported a two-state solution as a viable resolution to the ongoing conflict.
