On August 7, 2026, Morocco reiterated its support for the creation of an independent Palestinian state, with East Jerusalem (Al-Qods-Est) as its capital, within the borders of June 4, 1967. The statement was made by the Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, emphasizing the kingdom's consistent position on the Palestinian cause.
Morocco also called for an immediate end to violence against Palestinians and urged all parties to respect international law and UN resolutions. The ministry stressed the importance of resuming peace negotiations to achieve a two-state solution, which remains the internationally recognized framework for resolving the conflict.
This reaffirmation comes amid ongoing tensions in the region, but no specific incidents were cited in the official statement. Morocco has historically played a role in Middle East diplomacy, including its normalization agreement with Israel in 2020, while maintaining its support for Palestinian rights.
The Moroccan position aligns with the Arab League's stance and the broader international consensus, which supports a negotiated settlement based on pre-1967 lines. The statement did not announce any new initiatives but served as a reminder of Morocco's continued commitment to the Palestinian cause.
