History : The times when Morocco showed support for the Palestinian cause

On the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, observed by the United Nations on November the 29th, Yabiladi seeks the opportunity to recall all the times Morocco has shown support for the Palestinian cause. Starting from the Yom Kippur War, the kingdom has become one of the countries committed to defend the Palestinian people expelled in 1948. Flash back.

The international community is commemorating today, 28 November, the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. A day to show respect and support the Palestinian people, who suffered trying to face the Israeli occupation since the 1948 exodus.

In Morocco, the position of the royal family and the Moroccan people has always been known to the rest of the world : «An unconditional support for the Palestinian cause», since the Arab-Israeli war fought on October 6, 1973. 6,000 Moroccan soldiers from the Royal Armed Forces (FAR) participated to the Yom Kippur war alongside the Syrian comrades in arms.

At the same time, the Kingdom, under the reign of King Hassan II, had led several attempts to mediate between the Arab countries and Israel. From 1977 to 1978, Morocco played the role of a middleman through the holding of secret meetings between the two parties on its soil.

For his part, King Mohammed VI had provided material and moral support for the Palestinian cause since the day he ascended to the throne. Apart from Morocco’s positions following the attacks targeting the Palestinians, the monarch had repeatedly ordered sending emergency grants to the people affected by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict at the Gaza strip.

Indeed, in July 2014, an emergency budget of $ 5 million was granted to the Palestinian people after Israel raided the Gaza Strip. Two years ago, King Mohammed VI agreed to pay for the furnishing of a higher educational institution in Gaza, with a budget of $1.3 million. More than that, Morocco has established in 2012 a Moroccan medico-surgical hospital campaign in Gaza to provide health care for the victims.

United to defend the Palestinian cause

Financially speaking, Morocco, which chairs the Al-Quds Committee and its agency, Bayt Mal Al-Quds Asharif, remains one of the few countries known for honoring their commitments helping the sister nation. In May, the Palestinian Foreign Minister, Riyad al-Malki, said in a speech delivered during the International Conference on Al-Quds Al-Sharif held in Dakar that :

«Many parties have promised us help and support, but only the Al-Quds Committee, through Bayt Mal Al-Quds Asharif Agency, is honoring its commitments providing financial support for the holy city (...) money spent on Al-Quds support projects comes solely from Bayt Mal Al-Quds Asharif, and sometimes from King Mohammed VI's own funds, who pays special attention to this.»

Meanwhile, Moroccans were there to provide moral support for the Palestinians and several demonstrations were organized to denounce the Israeli occupation. For example, November the 29th is one of the days that remind Moroccans of the struggle of these people. On the 15th of May, protestors in Morocco take the streets every year responding to the calls of the Moroccan Democratic Network of Solidarity with the Peoples.

While the international community has been denouncing, for several years, the Israeli occupation of Palestine, Morocco was there to show support in a tangible way. Unfortunately, the Palestinian cause is still making headlines and the families residing in the West Bank or in the Gaza Strip are still unable to see their dream come true.

Do you really need to add a crap french comment at the end of your last reply?Ill No my friend nothing has changed and my opinion is still the same. king Hassan 2 was not involved and had nothing to do with the swift and decisive Israel victory . 6 fucking days it took for Israel to kick their arses lol! Thanks to big mouths Nasser,Jordan king and Syrian president.Welcome Actually I am disappointed...Zen Israel should have finished the job by removing all these puppets Arabs dictators and regimes. All your links are testimonies from one individual and a former mossad spy . Therefore all these links are purely propaganda, untrue and must be rejected.

I thought let give him time to think about the content of the link I sent a year ago ( I was not and I am not the one who wrote on the issue). Like many Moroccans, they do not discuss the ideas in the link, they automatically become personal and start insulting not the author of a piece but the one who posted it. Today, I did open the Yabiladi site and the same article was on the frontpage. I myself was surprised to see my comment and your reply. I decided to add other links stating the same story. Unfortunately, I noticed that after one year, you still have difficulties to accept these information. In between, I saw TV programs addressing the same. Their strength is exactly to be able to make anyone to work for them. Since the meeting was in Morocco, they got the number one to work for them. ( il faut réfléchir avant d´écrire des ânneries).

LOL ptdr are you serious krim? can t you see that there is no difference between jacob cohen and the other dude in your previous comment. there is no doubt my friend: they are two mossad guys who play mind game with divided arabs countries. the worse case scenario for israel is that all arab leaders follow Hassan 2 steps. hassan 2 was a smart leader.he knew exactly the weakest point of Israel:international media interest if israel and arab world did sign a global peace treaty as advocated and recommended 30 years agoOups by hassan 2,international opinion will have forced israel to find an issue to palestine and israel will no more look for scapegoat in order to cover up its war crimes. you are missing the full picture my friend.wake up! Now,part of your comment is true. Yes! morocco and israel still keep alive the political link created and secured between ytzak rabin and hassan 2. Morocco took the right decision not to follow the fucked up arab leaders.spinning smiley sticking its tongue out Arab leaders mainly purpose for supporting palestine was to keep busy their population and stay in power. Thanks anyway for your reply... I do need some refresh training for my english since i relocated in casablanca. Welcome

This is your opinion, Mr itwasntme, but I do respect others who also may be wrong, sick or are the real haters of Morocco. By the way F.U.

Hello krim, It s me againBye Well,i think you should definitely check out with your GP as soon as possible. surely your doctor will help you to get rid of your hate for morocco with some sleeping and stress disorder tablets What a lot of crap you are saying.clap Seriousely,do you believe one single fucking word from this mossad spy still on duty for israel.?? tu es mahboul ou quoi?Are you crazyAre you crazy The six days war was a total disaster for an unprepared arab army.that's the terrible true! Nasser was a big mouth and his open communications with russia and jordan cost him the lost of sinai peninsula. As consequences of this war,several civilians were killed. In fact,israel did kick the shit out of his arab neighbours.ptdrptdr in not six but 3 fucking days!Ill At this time,all arab countries didn t like the kingdom of morocco. That was a perfect scapegoat and escape door for israel:blaming morocco that was a easy step for israel as arabs can t fucking use proprely their brains and use common sens. Arabs should be honest by admitting that israel was stronger and morocco has nothing to be blamed for. Here is the real historic facts. https://www.britannica.com/event/Six-Day-War
