Morocco, Politics, 9/14/1999

The world leaders count on Morocco to continue its role in backing the Middle-East peace process, Moroccan Prime Minister, Abderrahmane Youssoufi, told French TV5 channel on Monday.

"The presence during the funeral of King Hassan II, last July 25, of various officials or representatives of American Jewish associations, showed to what extent people count on Morocco to continue its moderate and backing role to the peace process," Youssoufi said.

Morocco has always played a key role to bring together Arabs and Jews and foster peace in the Middle East.

Youssoufi added that the Palestinians also count on Morocco's mediation and intervention.

The prime minister also underlined the symbolic succession of King Mohammed VI to his father, the late King Hassan II, to the presidency of the Al-Quds Committee.

The committee is in charge of safeguarding the Arab and Islamic identity of Al-Quds (Jerusalem) against Israeli Judaization attempts.
