Tens of thousands of protesters took the streets today in Rabat to support the Palestinian people and denounce the recent decision of U.S. President Donald Trump recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Following the US President’s decision of moving the American embassy to Jerusalem and recognizing the city as the capital of Israel, Yabiladi spoke to Brian T. Neubert, Director of the U.S. State Department’s Africa Regional Media Hub. The American official who worked for 18 years in the Foreign Service explained the recent announcement of the American President.
824 years ago Moroccans had a neighborhood in Al-Quds, the city they helped retake from the Crusaders. Speaking of Harat al-Maghariba, also known as the Maghariba Quarter, Yabiladi puts under the spotlight the strength of the Moroccan-Palestinian friendship. Flashback.
Al-Quds is the capital of Israel, according to Donald Trump. The US president has delivered on his promise despite the warnings he received from several Arab leaders, including the King of Morocco. For the Republican president, this recognition would stifle the peace process in the region.
In a letter to Donald Trump, King Mohammed VI warned against moving the American embassy to Al-Quds. The Moroccan sovereign expressed his deep concerns stressing on the effects this decision might have on the peace process in the region. Details.
