 HM The King And President Obama Saw Eye To Eye On Importance Of Achieving Permanent Settlement To Conflict Over Al Quds, Huffington Post

 During his White House meeting with President Obama late last year, HM King Mohammed VI and the American leader saw eye to eye on the importance of achieving a permanent settlement to the conflict over Al Quds. There are high-level hopes that this week’s meeting in Rabat will prove to be one of the first fruits of that understanding, The Huffington Post said.

 In Israel and Palestine, US Secretary of State John Kerry’s campaign to foster a settlement is nearing its home stretch, with an urgent need for greater regional support. This conference, if effectively steered and supported, can help to provide that support, said author Ahmed Charai, Mid-East policy advisor in Washington.

 There are grounds for hope that the Al-Quds Committee will make a meaningful contribution to peace efforts in the Holy Land, the paper said, noting that HM King Mohammed VI has consistently tried to work through the group to foster the circumstances necessary to enable the parties to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict to achieve a peace accord. These measures include philanthropic projects to build hospitals and schools for the Palestinians and offers to oversee the maintenance of Muslim holy sites during periods of heightened acrimony.
