Bourita on Sahara and Palestine at UN

Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita focused in his speech before the United Nations on developments regarding the Sahara issue. He emphasized that the conflict has entered a new phase since the issuance of UN Security Council Resolution 2797 in October 2025, which endorses the autonomy proposal as the basis for a final settlement in accordance with UN references. He clarified that the process is heading toward a final resolution, while calling on the involved parties to engage in discussions without preconditions. Bourita also addressed international security challenges, warning of the growing role of non-state armed groups that threaten peace and stability, and he called for the imposition of firm sanctions against them. He reaffirmed that achieving peace and development is linked to addressing the consequences of climate change, and reviewed Morocco's measures to confront these impacts. Regarding the Middle East conflict, he stressed the necessity of establishing an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. He affirmed Morocco’s participation in efforts to stabilize Gaza and defend the Islamic identity of Jerusalem, criticizing Israeli unilateral actions and settlement expansion, while emphasizing King Mohammed VI’s efforts to protect the holy city.
