Humanitarian and Security Role in Gaza

The agreement, signed in the presence of Nickolay Mladenov, Senior Representative of the Gaza Peace Council, underscores Morocco’s commitment to international peacekeeping. According to a statement from the National Defense Administration, this participation aligns with the Kingdom’s founding role in the Gaza Peace Council, as outlined during the inaugural meeting in Washington.

Moroccan authorities emphasized the Kingdom’s dedication to peace, cooperation, and global solidarity. They highlighted the Royal Armed Forces’ (FAR) extensive experience in United Nations-backed peacekeeping operations, as well as Morocco’s longstanding efforts to promote regional and international stability.

Representatives from the Gaza Peace Council praised Morocco’s contributions, which include deploying senior FAR officers to the ISF’s joint command, integrating Royal Gendarmerie and General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) personnel, and establishing a military field hospital. The signed accord outlines the technical and operational framework for this participation, reflecting a shared determination to restore peace and security in Gaza through humanitarian and security initiatives.
