Moroccan Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch says his country “stands in solidarity” with Middle Eastern countries attacked by Israel, in a speech to the UN General Assembly in New York.

Akhannouch urged the United Nations to work to “save the region from the cycle of violence.” He outlines several steps that should be taken to bring peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

“One, an immediate ceasefire (in Gaza) and a return to the negotiating table in order to put a final end to the war. Two, ensuring the entry of humanitarian assistance to the Gaza Strip and the West Bank without any conditions or restrictions. Three, promote the vital role of UNRWA [the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees]. And four, implement a clear and comprehensive roadmap for reconstruction,” he said in Tuesday’s address.

“We continue to believe that the two-state solution is the only way to achieve sustainable and comprehensive peace in the Middle East,” he states, adding that such a process cannot be delayed.
