“The Gaza Strip is experiencing an unprecedented crisis and a humanitarian catastrophe that the international community can no longer ignore, hence the appeal by His Majesty King Mohammed VI, in his capacity as Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, for an awakening of the human conscience to put an end to the massacre of human lives,” stressed the Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nasser Bourita, during the high-level meeting of the 55th session of the Human Rights Council (HRC), chaired by Morocco.
“Faced with the resurgence of military operations and the deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, the Kingdom of Morocco reaffirms its constant positions and once again insists on an immediate, comprehensive and lasting halt to the Israeli war on Gaza and on guaranteeing the protection of civilians and not
targeting them, in the context of the continuing random Israeli bombardments of hospitals, schools, places of worship and other civilian installations,” the Moroccan minister said.
He also underlined the need to ensure “the smooth delivery of sufficient quantities of humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza, to protect the Palestinians from forced exile and to put in place a political framework for the settlement of the Palestinian question, capable of reactivating the two-State solution, with a view to
establishing a Palestinian State within the 1967 borders, with East Al-Quds as its capital.”
