The Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nasser Bourita, defended his cautious optimism about the "Peace to Prosperity" plan.
"The Kingdom appreciates the peace efforts made by the administration of US President Donald Trump after noting that Washington is for the first time talking about the two-state solution," he said, adding that "the Palestinians have the right to accept or reject the deal," and saying: "We must not be more Palestinian than the Palestinians themselves. "
In his answer to harsh criticism from members of the Justice and Development Party, who said the Palestinian issue is the first national issue for Moroccans, Bouraita sharply rebuked them. He said "the first issue of Moroccan diplomacy is the issue of the Moroccan Sahara."
This is, of course, the Moroccan occupation of Western Sahara, where two thirds of the residents would be considered illegal settlers if they were Jews, and Morocco's claim over the area would be considered illegal annexation if it was done by Israel.
No one, of course, talks about Morocco violating the Geneva Conventions. Because certain international laws seem to be used only against the Jewish state and ignored elsewhere - meaning that they are really not international law.
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
