Morocco has renewed its urgent call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, reaffirming its rejection of any form of violence against civilians and stressing the need to put an end to the dangerous situation which is no longer acceptable on legal and humanitarian levels. Representing Morocco at an international conference held Thursday in Paris, Fouad Yazourh, Director General at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said Rabat is committed to achieving peace, stability, well-being, and prosperity for all the region’s peoples. In coordination with all partners, Morocco supports international mobilization for immediate cessation of hostilities in Gaza, said the diplomat, stressing the need to protect civilians in the Palestinian territory. Leaders of Western and Arab nations, international agencies and nongovernmental groups gathered Thursday in Paris to press Israel to stop its massive air and ground campaign against civilians in Gaza. He also said that diplomatic work must resume on bringing peace to the Middle East, with a two-state solution.
