The Palestinian government has said that Morocco will not attend the US-led conference, to be hosted by Bahrain. This announcement was made after a White House senior official told media that the Kingdom, alongside Egypt and Jordan, confirmed their attendance to the meeting, expected to unveil the economic portion of the «Deal of the Century».
Three Moroccan associations have disapproved of US senior advisor Jared Kushner’s visit to the Kingdom, citing the Deal of the Century and the Palestinian cause. The three pro-Palestine NGOs will be holding a sit-in Friday in Rabat to denounce the plan orchestrated by the US.
Shortly after Foreign Affairs Minister Nasser Bourita addressed diplomatic ties with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, Riyadh responded to Morocco’s critics through its Foreign Minister.
