Morocco, UAE's joint statement

Morocco and the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday denounced the policy of "siege and repression conducted by Israel against the Palestinian peopl"e and called on the international community to shoulder its responsibility to halt the Israeli aggressions.

In conclusion of works of the Moroccan- UAE joint committee, the two sides denounced the Israeli threats and aggressions against Syria and Lebanon, noting that this will not serve stability in the region.

In a joint minutes of meetings, the two sides expressed their condemnation to the policy of settlement carried out by Israel in the occupied territories and their categorical rejection of the Israeli measures aiming at Judaizing Jerusalem and annexing it. They stressed that Jerusalem is not subject for bargaining and it constitutes an integral part of the occupied Arab territories on which all UN security council resolutions are valid, noting that all Israeli measures concerning the city are null, void.

The committee also stressed the need of honoring Iraq's independence and territorial integrity and non intervention in its own affairs. They also expressed their concern over the continued suffering of the Iraqi people.
