Rabat – The National People’s Congress of Al-Quds affiliated with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Islamic-Christian body in support of Al-Quds and Sacred Sites, affirmed on Monday, November 8, their support for Morocco’s territorial integrity.

The two bodies congratulated King Mohammed VI, the Moroccan government, as well as the Moroccan people on the occasion of the 46th anniversary of the Green March.
They also underlined the valuable role of Al-Quds Committee, chaired by HM King Mohammed VI, as well as the Bayt Mal Al Quds Al Sharif Agency, created in 1995 by HM the late King Hassan II, which carried out many exemplary humanitarian programs in Al-Quds.
“The choice of the ‘Alalam’ district located at the heart of the old medina of Al-Quds to set up the Moroccan Cultural Center, allows the promotion and the protection of the unique Islamic-Christian identity of the Holy City,” said the two Palestinian bodies in the same statement.
