Rabat – Israel’s Minister for Regional Cooperation Issawi Frej emphasized Morocco’s key role in the Middle East region during a meeting with Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita today in Rabat.
Following his meeting with the Moroccan FM, Frej said that the meeting had served as an opportunity to discuss the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The remarks came following an interview with I24News, during which the Israeli official emphasized Morocco’s potential to facilitate dialogue between Israeli and Palestinian authorities.
“Morocco has charged the Al Quds Committee for decades and citizens from Morocco represent more than a million people in Israel,” he said in an interview earlier this week.
He added that Morocco is an “acceptable and friendly country” that can encourage a real conversation between Palestine and Israel given the good relations it has with both countries.
For decades, Morocco has been renewing its support for an independent Palestinian state, with east Jerusalem as its capital.
