Morocco’s Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita also opens his remarks by condemning the terror attack last night in Hadera.
He says the summit is the “best response to such attacks.”
Bourita says more bilateral visits will come in the future.
“[Establishing relations] is not a move of opportunity. It is a move of conviction,” says Bourita.
“We believe in a thorough, paradigm-shaping peace,” Bourita adds.
Bourita reemphasizes Rabat’s support for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He adds that the solution must also respect Israeli security interests.
Morocco’s decision to recognize Israel “is not an opportunistic move,” he stresses, noting that the mayors of the Negev cities of Yeruham and Dimona are of Moroccan origin.
“A solution is possible” for peace with the Palestinians, he says, noting that Morocco has always supported a two-state solution that is based on the 1967 borders and also protects Israel’s security.
“I hope we meet again soon in a different desert, but with the same spirit,” he concludes.
