The commitment to enshrine the Moroccanness of the Sahara is a principle of sovereignty that Morocco does not exercise to the detriment of the Palestinian people's struggle to recover their legitimate rights, the section of the Foundation stressed in a statement on Monday.
Regarding the resumption of relations between Morocco and Israel, the statement described the initiative as "wise" and "bold". Morocco has always affirmed the development of relations and the reopening of channels of communication with Israel will not in any way be at the expense of the Palestinian cause.
On the contrary, it will help to establish peace and stability in the Middle East and facilitate the role of HM King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, in defending the rights of the Palestinian people, according to the same source.
The Kingdom has long been known for sheltering refugees. When the Jewish communities were persecuted in Europe, particularly in Spain, the Kings of Morocco received them quickly, it said.
The Guinean section of the Mohammed VI Foundation of African Oulema also noted that Jews of Moroccan origin are the second largest displaced community after the Russian one. This community has always kept unwavering links with its origins in Morocco, the statement concluded.
