Morocco reiterated, Monday in New York, its “full support” for Palestine’s bid to be a member state of the United Nations Organisation.
Morocco reiterates its full and effective support for the Palestinian Authority’s request, on behalf of the Palestinian people, for membership, as a sovereign state, on the United Nations, based on the 1967 borders, with eastern Jerusalem as its capital,” Morocco’s permanent representative to the UN, ambassador Mohamed Loulichki told the Security Council.
Loulichki hoped that the ongoing consultations between the members of the Council will soon meet this legitimate application, all the more so as there is international consensus on the two-state solution, along with a wide international recognition of a Palestinian state.
He deplored the fact that the Palestinian cause is going through a crucial stage marked by the absence of any prospect for negotiations, continued settlement programmes and annexation and destruction Israeli policies.
The diplomat expressed Morocco’s deep concern about the dangerous, illegal escalation on the part of Israel, in violation of international law and practices and all previous agreements concluded between the parties concerned.
