Morocco and Iraq have both voiced strong opposition to plans that would relocate Palestinians from Gaza. The two nations believe this type of action would violate international law. Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita and Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein met in Rabat on Saturday to discuss their concerns. They released a joint statement emphasizing the potential risks to regional security.
During their meeting, the ministers stressed that forcibly moving Palestinians would create a “dangerous precedent.” They explained that it would go against the core principles of international and humanitarian law. Furthermore, they warned that such actions could make the already unstable region even more volatile. This would seriously damage any chances for a lasting peace.
Morocco and Iraq are worried that relocating Palestinians would not only infringe on their basic human rights. They also believe it would worsen current tensions, making it even harder to achieve a two-state solution. This united front highlights the widespread concern about the future of Palestinians.
The joint statement sends a clear message against any actions that could displace or marginalize Palestinians. Morocco has historically supported the Palestinian cause. This collaboration between Morocco and Iraq demonstrates the global importance of upholding international law and protecting the rights of vulnerable populations in the region.
