Morocco’s most important cause is the Sahara and not Palestine, Foreign Affairs Minister says

The «Deal of the Century» was in the heart of the meeting attended, Tuesday, by Foreign Affairs Minister Nasser Bourita and members of the Committee on Foreign Affairs in the House of Councilors.

MPs from the Justice and Development Party (PJD) focused on the position of Rabat regarding the US peace plan for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict unveiled on January 28 by the President of the United States Donald Trump.

Elected Islamists said that the Palestinian issue is «Morocco’s number one cause». Responding to that, Bourita insisted that «the Sahara remains Morocco’s most important cause and not Palestine».

He sought the opportunity to remind attendees «not to be more Palestinian than the Palestinians themselves».
