Palestine-Morocco, Politics, 6/9/1999

There will be no solution to the issue of Al-Quds (Jerusalem) without consultation with King Hassan II, Palestinian ambassador to Morocco, Wajih Hassan Al-Kacem (Abu Marwane) said.

There will be no solution to the issue of Al-Quds without consultation between President Arafat and King Hassan II, Abu Marwane told a Moroccan daily.

The diplomat lauded the ceaseless efforts exerted by King Hassan II for the establishment of peace in the Middle-East.

The Moroccan King is chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, an off-shoot of the Organization of Islamic Conference, in charge of safeguarding the holy city.

The diplomat announced that the governing board of "Bait Mal Al-Quds" (Jerusalem Fund) will meet next week to examine projects that can be carried out in the holy city and ways to finance them.

The Casablanca-based Bait Mal Al-Quds seeks to preserve the Arab and Islamic identity of the city and protect it against Judaization attempts.

Regarding the proclamation of a Palestinian independent state, Abu Marwane said consultations are underway to set a date for this event, taking into account the interests of Palestine far from any external pressure.
