(@AmbaMarocFrance) September 23, 2025 During the same UN Assembly, Morocco reiterated its commitment to the two-state solution as the «only path» to achieving lasting peace in the region. Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch underscored Rabat's position advocating for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state based on the June 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital and Gaza as an integral part of the state. He emphasized the importance of incorporating an economic dimension into the peace process. Akhannouch further asserted that this solution «can neither be postponed nor marginalized, but must instead become a moral obligation and an immediate political requirement». He stressed the necessity of paving the way for a credible political solution and establishing a clear timeline to secure the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.
