RABAT, May 14 (Xinhua) -- The Moroccan King Mohammed VI reiterated Monday his country's refusal to the United States moving embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, warning of the "grave repercussions" of this decision on the peace process.
In a message to the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, the king deemed this step as "contrary to international law and relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions which stress on keeping the legal and historical status of the holy city unchanged."
The Moroccan king said he has noticed the international consensus rejecting the U.S. decision, considering this consensus as "a strong message" in support of the rights of the Palestinian people and their just cause, on top of which is the city of Jerusalem.
He reaffirmed his commitment to help restore trust and revive the peace process between the Palestinian and Israeli parties, and Morocco will continue its efforts to help the Palestinians establish an independent state with East Jerusalem as capital.
