"The Kingdom of Morocco strongly condemns the massive Israeli military operations which have claimed, this morning, the lives of dozens of Palestinian brothers in Gaza strip, and strongly condemns the disproportionate use of force and the tragic escalation of violence," a communiqué of the Foreign ministry said on Saturday.
"The Kingdom of Morocco calls for the immediate halt of the hostilities which, beyond the significant loss of life, exposes the region once again to escalation, violence and divisions," the document added.
"In this painful moment, King Mohammed VI, Chairman of Al-Quds Committee offers his heartfelt condolences to the families of the innocent Palestinian victims," said the communiqué.
"The King also calls on the Security Council and the international Quartet to shoulder their responsibilities in order to ensure the halt of violence and the necessary continuation of dialogue and negotiation between all parties concerned," the document concluded. LinkFM Livni May Visit Morocco
