Morocco unveils Gaza plan to send senior officers and establish a field hospital
Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita called on Tuesday for full compliance with the ceasefire in Gaza and the uninterrupted delivery of humanitarian aid during the general debate of the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York.
Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita called for full compliance with the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the uninterrupted delivery of sufficient humanitarian aid to the region.
Bourita made the remarks on Tuesday during the general debate of the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York. The Moroccan minister said the tragedy faced by the Palestinian people was continuing and that the ceasefire in Gaza and the entry of humanitarian aid must be respected.
Morocco to join Gaza stabilization force
Bourita announced that Morocco would directly join the international stabilization force to be established for Gaza. He said senior officers would be sent to the internal security forces, Palestinian police officers would be trained and a military field hospital would be established.
Morocco also plans to organize initiatives to combat extremism. Bourita said lasting peace required the establishment of an independent and territorially contiguous Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders, with occupied East Jerusalem as its capital.
Focus on the West Bank and Al-Aqsa Mosque
Bourita reiterated Morocco’s support for the Palestinian Authority and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees. Expressing deep concern over Israeli practices in the West Bank, Bourita said laws enabling the seizure of land for settlement expansion, along with violence against Palestinian civilians, aimed to displace the population and undermine the material foundations of an independent Palestinian state.
The Moroccan minister warned that unilateral Israeli steps violating the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque were also fueling extremism across the region.
Casualties in Gaza and the ceasefire
Israeli army attacks on Gaza since October 2023 have killed approximately 74,000 Palestinians, wounded more than 174,000 people and destroyed about 90 percent of the region’s infrastructure.
Israel has violated the agreement on a daily basis since the ceasefire took effect on October 10.
