On the sidelines of the High-Level Retreat on the Future of Euro-Mediterranean Relations, Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita and the new European Commissioner for the Mediterranean, Dubravka Šuica, said Thursday in Rabat that lasting regional peace depends on a two-state solution between Palestine and Israel.
A group of Moroccan activists is preparing to join the largest international flotilla bound for Gaza, part of a humanitarian initiative aimed at breaking the territory’s suffocating blockade. The move comes as UN warnings intensify over an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe facing Palestinians amid what they describe as a war of extermination waged by the Israeli army.
Hundreds of Moroccans stranded in the Gaza Strip are facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. With relentless bombardments, a crippling blockade, and rapidly deteriorating living conditions, these Moroccans are enduring severe hardship without adequate food or safe shelter, while the absence of diplomatic coordination continues to deny them the chance to return home.
Just like in June 2010, North Africans are gearing up to take part in a humanitarian mission to Gaza by boat. Morocco's PPS and the National Action Group for Palestine are rallying their supporters to join the initiative.
