Morocco's Continued Commitment to Palestinian Rights
On August 8, 2026, Morocco reiterated its unwavering support for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, firmly condemning all acts of violence and aggression faced by Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The Moroccan government emphasized the necessity of establishing a clear political horizon aimed at ending the ongoing conflict. This reaffirmation of support was made during a ministerial meeting held in Amman, Jordan, on August 5, 2026, which focused on supporting Jerusalem and its holy sites, attended by ministers from various Arab and Islamic countries.
During this important meeting, Morocco's Minister of Justice, Abdellatif Ouahbi, delivered a speech highlighting the Kingdom's commitment under the wise leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, the President of the Al-Quds Committee. He underscored the importance of avoiding any actions that could exacerbate the situation in the Palestinian territories. Minister Ouahbi pointed out that recent escalations in the city of Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque have heightened tensions in the region, exacerbated by the rise of religious extremism and the spread of hate speech.
The Moroccan delegation to this ministerial meeting was led by Minister Ouahbi and included several notable figures, such as Fouad Akhrif, the Moroccan ambassador to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Khalid Ben Sheikh, Director of Maghreb, Arab and Islamic Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccans Abroad, and Othmane Raho, Deputy Head of the Moroccan Mission in Amman.
