King Mohammed VI sent a message on Sunday to the president of the Committee on Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People Cheikh Niang on the occasion of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.
In his message, the Sovereign praised «the Committee on the valuable contribution it has been making to inform global public opinion of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people».
«Through my message today, I wish to reaffirm the Kingdom of Morocco's solidarity with our Palestinian brothers and sisters. We stand by the Palestinian people and continue to support their legitimate rights in order to establish an independent Palestinian State, with East Jerusalem as its capital – a State open to all around it and to all faiths», the King wrote.
«Regardless of the profound changes and developments that have taken place in the Middle East in recent years, I am convinced that the Palestinian question is the key to a permanent and comprehensive solution in the Middle East region. Such a solution should be based on enabling all peoples of the region to live in security, peace and harmony, within the framework of international legitimacy, and in accordance with the principle of the two-state solution, which is agreed upon by the international community», he indicated.
The King urged «to break the current impasse as far as the peace process is concerned. To that end, international efforts must be stepped up to revive direct negotiations between the Palestinian and the Israeli sides in order to resolve all contentious issues». Furthermore, he denounced «unilateral measures in the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem», which «constitute a violation of international legitimacy, jeopardize any prospects for the desired solution, fuel conflict, breed frustration and reinforce extremist tendencies».
The Sovereign also affirmed that the Kingdom remains attached to the legal status of the occupied Palestinian territories, as it has been put in place, without any modification.
